Stevens Creek Boulevard, spanning three cities in the South Bay, has become a stretch known for speeding and dangerous conditions. Two fatal crashes occurred within nine months, prompting resident fears about safety. Witnesses reported near misses and incidents of out-of-control vehicles damaging parked cars. As a corridor vital for health, education, and commerce, extensive growth coincides with heightened safety concerns. Pedestrians and cyclists face particular risks, with advocacy groups emphasizing the need for improved crosswalks to enhance safety in this increasingly populated area.
"I almost got hit trying to get out of my car," said Catalina Barrios, 58, who lives in an apartment on the boulevard in Santa Clara. "That street is dangerous."
Stevens Creek Boulevard... is one of the most dangerous corridors in the city for pedestrians and cyclists," according to Walk Bike Cupertino, a volunteer advocacy group for walking and biking.
