Sacramento To Close Oak Park Intersection Residents Have Long Called Unsafe

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The City of Sacramento is shutting down what they call a dangerous stretch of road in Oak Park.

Second Avenue between Broadway and 34th Street creates a small triangle in the street.

For years, neighborhood residents have criticized the intersection for being unsafe. Residents say crashes have frequently happened in that weirdly-shaped stretch of road.

The city has since decided to permanently close off vehicular traffic to the triangle. Bollards will be placed to block the road, but will leave it open to bikes and pedestrians.

Work to close off the street will start on Monday.
