Rancho Higuera Street Closures

Lives on Helms and thanks the roundabouts and speed bumps, but said closures under the plans would strand her on gridlocked National and cut her neighborhood off from downtown Culver City.

A Helms parent with a child at Linwood Howe, called the 'nuclear option' terrible and urged the city to survey working parents, who couldn't attend weeknight meetings, before cutting off school access routes.

A Schaefer homeowner opposed to any closures, saying she'd be trapped on National daily and that closing Hayden/Higuera would push cut-through traffic onto Schaefer instead.

A Higuera resident of 38 years fighting cut-through for 25 years, praised the engineering team and strongly endorsed plan B3, saying it closes every loophole and that his neighbors support it.

A 44-year Schaefer resident and retiree said she never got a mailer about this, warned closures would overwhelm Wesley, and asked whether Jerry's Market on Higuera would lose access.

A Schaefer resident strongly opposed to all proposals, disputed the 'extra minute' travel-time estimate as absurd given current gridlock, and demanded a thorough canvass of actual residents.

The neighborhood association's board president detailed a decade of fighting 8,000-10,000 daily cut-through cars, asked that all 653 households get a mailer, and urged speed cushions on Higuera-to-Ince streets near Amazon plus the long-sought cul-de-sac with a fire lane.
