It is such a nice drive through there. I get a bit annoyed by the speed some people feel they must go...and ride me. Hopefully it doesn't take a major incident to get more patrols or for people to slow down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766959241150105184.post-21432574887380003762009-05-03T21:29:00.000-07:002009-05-03T21:29:00.000-07:00Hi Anonymous, I don't know if there is any way to ...Hi Anonymous, I don't know if there is any way to add up the fatalities over the years. There has been a road all the way through since at least 1914. Over those 95 years, people do what they do in almost any canyon, speed, test the curves, race each other, whatever. I've only been here five years and I would say there have been about seven or eight deaths that I know of, though not one for quite a while. Whenever I've talked to Chino Hills city officials about it or even the injuries, property damage, and power failures caused by accidents, there usually a two-part answer: they can't be there 24/7 (which is not what I was asking!) and they are limited in staffing police patrols in the Canyon. I can't speak about the attitude on the Brea side, but I imagine that if an innocent person or a child was killed because of reckless driving, there would be a change in attitude about limtations on patrols, at least for awhile! As it is, those of us who live in the Canyon and drive through it take risks at certain times on Carbon Canyon Road and I don't see anything changing, unfortunately, unless the scenario I outlined above happens. Thanks for checking out the blog!prshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436491486803144279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766959241150105184.post-31458412450796016872009-05-03T00:08:00.000-07:002009-05-03T00:08:00.000-07:00Hello, I live in carbon canyon and I pass by that ...Hello, I live in carbon canyon and I pass by that water tank every time I go to work. It is so sad when something of historical value becomes defaced with graffiti. I enjoy the site though and never knew anything about the history of carbon canyon until I came upon this site. I have a question too. I am fairly new to carbon canyon and heard that there have been quite a few deaths on this road due to the windy and twisty turns. Would you happen to know how many have died there? Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
