Dos Vientos families say crossing four lanes of 45 mph traffic with no crosswalk or signal is dangerous — a fatal crash happened there in 2025 and speeds hit 88 mph. They want the intersections added to the city's traffic signal list and a sight-distance study.

What it means: A traffic signal can cost $400,000 to $600,000 per intersection, per staff.

The outcome determines whether the neighborhood keeps its current lighting setup.

What it means: North Ranch Estates residents who use the Collingswood Place common area and rely on the streetlighting.
