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.”

The council is now calling on the provincial and federal governments and health authorities to resource strategies that take swift and meaningful action to combat the drug crisis.

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.

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.
