""I care deeply about the safety of our neighborhood and the families that live here," Brandlin said."
""There's a park right there, and it's a magnet for children," said Gary Sanders, a resident in the neighborhood for more than 30 years."
""A tragedy could occur," he said. "I wonder if a tragedy does have to occur for the city to do something about it.""
"In the weeks leading up to his arrest, Brandlin said he witnessed several near-collisions, including incidents involving children."
Joseph Brandlin, a resident of El Segundo, was arrested for installing unauthorized stop signs at a dangerous intersection near Acacia Park. After months of unsuccessful attempts to address safety concerns with city officials, Brandlin took action following a petition with 50 signatures. The city conducted a traffic evaluation but determined the intersection did not meet the criteria for additional stop signs. Residents argue that the city's standards do not reflect the reality of the area's traffic and pedestrian safety issues.
