A pedestrian was killed on Arden Way. Three passengers died in a two-car crash along Northgate Boulevard. A man was killed while walking across Fruitridge Road, and a woman was fatally injured in a crash along Power Inn Road.
"This year is just off to an awful start," said City Councilmember Phil Pluckebaum.
"Traffic engineers are looking for every opportunity that we can to make our streets safer," he said.
"These are all streets that we know very well," Gonzalez said. "They're major arterioles that are all on our high collision injury network."
So why have none of these projects been completed yet?
"These cost tens of millions of dollars per project easily, so it takes a while," Gonzalez said.
"What we're going to do is slow traffic down in areas where there are pedestrian conflicts, places where traffic already is or should be slower," Pluckebaum said.
"2026 is really ramping up to look like one of the more deadly years in Sacramento unless we do something right now," Gonzalez said.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty says he wants to improve traffic safety by using technology like speed sensors and red light cameras to issue automatic tickets to drivers.
