Via Cristal closure request

A resident of about a year asked the city to close Via Cristal's connection to Ortega Highway, citing 34 crashes, his own injury accident, speeding, cut-through app traffic, and a home-invasion robbery enabled by the quick getaway route.

A 28-year Via Cristal resident near Ortega described dangerous cut-through traffic, a purse-snatching in front of her home, and asked for a sound wall extension or closure to make the street pedestrian-only.
