1. Citizen concern over safety at the intersection of Wolf Creek Drive North and Redwood Road/Alpine Place has prompted the city of Temecula to take action. At Tuesday’s 6 p.m. City Council meeting, council members are slated to give a green light to install all-way stop controls and striped pedestrian crosswalks at the intersection. Citizen concerns have included motorists speeding and unsafe pedestrian crossings, especially during pickup and drop-off times for nearby Erle Stanley Gardner Middle School and Temecula Luiseno Elementary School. The cost to do the work will be minimal, according to city documents. Last year, citizen complaints prompted the city to install a four-way stop with striped pedestrian crosswalks at the intersection of Wolf Creek Drive South and Teton Trail/Fireside Drive.
