Slow Down!


It's starting to look quite festive in Downtown Hollister, despite the cars and trucks zooming down San Benito Street. Slow down, people.

Yesterday evening, for nearly an hour, the Husband and I watched the traffic on our main street. We were alarmed at how fast the vehicles traveled in both directions.  A downtown business owner told us it's like that even during the day. We've also heard that some people have had scary experiences crossing San Benito Street.

The City of Hollister has a plan to help slow down the traffic and make downtown be a pedestrian-friendly place. That would be also great for the shops and restaurants down there. Not to say for bringing future businesses to downtown. This traffic plan is ready to go, from what I understand. Hopefully the execution of it won't drag on too long. Otherwise, San Benito Street continues to be a drag strip.

  1. I am sorry to hear rude traffic has found the way to your beautiful part of the world.
    It's concerning everywhere . . . (oh the stories!!)
    I look forward to learning how the rudeness will be corrected . . . in the meantime, please keep yourself safe . . .

    1. Probably like everywhere else, the rude traffic has been increasing over the past year. I think some people have too much pent-up stress that they vent when they drive.
