Sacramento paid the family an $11 million settlement, but it has not installed new safety infrastructure in the more than six years since the crash. It has approved a plan to make safety improvements to Freeport, however, Maple said, “for the Freeport project alone, we’re looking at 10 years out before we have the funding to actually do that.”

SACRAMENTO — The City of Sacramento submitted a proposal Monday to declare a state of emergency over pedestrian safety and traffic deaths. The initiative comes after the third fatal vehicle versus pedestrian accident this month.

Following another crash that hurt a pedestrian on city streets Thursday night, Sacramento Vice Mayor Caity Maple is calling for greater action to address traffic.

The Sacramento City Council may declare a state of emergency at its Tuesday meeting over a road safety crisis that has left at least 20 people dead in traffic collisions so far this year.
