Overview
- Crews added stop signs at Jackson Drive and Lake Badin Avenue, creating a four-way stop near Pershing Middle School and other community facilities.
- The city says it will lower Jackson Drive’s speed limit to 35 mph between Cowles Mountain and Lake Murray boulevards and trim four lanes to two by next summer.
- Councilmember Raul Campillo said he secured the mayor’s commitment for immediate changes the morning of the Oct. 20 crash that killed 12-year-old Andrew Olsen and injured his sisters.
- Prior evaluations in 2024 gave the intersection just 10 points—below thresholds for an all-way stop or marked crosswalk—under dated manuals, and residents say repeated complaints went unheeded.
- Police ruled out speeding and DUI; the driver told investigators sun glare impaired his view as the case remains under investigation.
