FLASHBACK: 24 SEP 2011, ACCIDENT AT LINCOLN AVE, 7:30am & 10:30am

On the morning of Saturday 24 September 2011 there were two significant accidents at Lincoln Avenue. The first accident occurred at 7:30am, right in front of Details Clothing and Allstate Insurance. It involved two vehicles. Then, just hours later, another accident was seen at front of Pizza My Heart and Domus, now known as Dolcetto Cafe & Market. This second collision involved three cars; whereas, a black Mercedes sedan took most of the damage at the middle. By that time, it was approximately 10:30am.

This is just one example of what a single day was like on Lincoln Avenue, before the Road Diet.  And that's a flashback for those persons that think a lane reduction is just an inconvenience.

ROAD DIET SUCCESS: Emergency 911 Call at Aqui Restaurant on Lincoln Ave.

First test of emergency 9-1-1 response, at Aqui restaurant, within the Lincoln Avenue Road Diet; therein, occurring as of 7 May 2015. The center-turn/emergency lane was open at both ends, allowing access from both Almaden Expressway and downtown San Jose.  Arriving were SJ Fire Station #1's hook-and-ladder truck from downtown San Jose; plus, a Rural Metro Ambulance from the South in the Almaden Valley area.  Both EMS Squads were able to arrive on the scene just in time.  Every thing went as planned!
