This crosswalk area has been a problem for many many years. Since the crosswalks are near the Nordoff high school there have been many instances of kids almost being killed as well by traffic in that area, (including myself). Since this area is part of the CalTrans district the City of Ojai is unable to address the problem. It’s about time CalTrans stepped up and did something about these dangerous crosswalks.
