Officials will have 30 days to map out new ways to improve safety on Bouquet Canyon Road after county supervisors approved a move to look harder road safety.

On a motion for Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will direct the Department of Public Works to work with the United States Forest Service and the California Highway Patrol to report to the Board in 30 days with a plan to improve traffic safety on Bouquet Canyon Road.

On Jan. 4, 2016, a 19-year-old woman from Leona Valley was killed when her car hit an oak tree and plunged 20 feet down a ravine off Bouquet Canyon Road in Saugus.

About 10 feet from the oak tree with which the young woman collided is a memorial marking the spot where a 16-year-old from Palmdale died after the car he was in also hit a tree on August 22, 2015.

This stretch of road is owned by the United States Forest Service and is maintained by the county via permit.

    Write more tickets for people who are on their cell phones

    • Where the deaths they mentioned happened there is no cell service ??

    • Silvie Faust says:

      Either way there alot of people driving and they are on their cell phones. Bouquet Canyon is a dangerous road.

    • People speed on this,road. I’ve been on it going there posted speed limit and Pete have gone tearing around me not caring for the curvature of the road or there ravines in some places. Lower the speed limit and ticket more it’s a mountain road certain people shouldn’t be driving it if they can’t patiently drive it.

  3. ???? Stop speeding! ?????

  4. Janine Cooper Ayre says:

    Thank you Supervisor Antonovich. I’m a resident of Bouquet Canyon Road and I’m very relieved to read this news.

  5. Citizen Smith says:

    Write more speeding tickets !
    When was the last time you saw a cop on Bouquet ?

  6. Maxi says:

    Wow! The grass is covering a important warning sign, no good! ” :(

  7. Melissa says:

    Determine the safe speed for driving from Vasquez to Spunky. Then stop every car traveling north or south between those two points. Issue a paper stub with a time stamp and the time they are “due” at the end. When they stop to turn in their stub, if they are unreasonably early, they get a speeding ticket.
    It would be an inconvenient hassle, but maybe, just maybe, it would get the idea across. The commuters are the worst offenders.

  8. Jeanne says:

    I live at Bouquet and David Way. I hear the sirens all the time. This is what I think would help.

    Put up a few stop signs that flash.

    Drop the speed limit to 35 or 40.
    Animals jump across the road all the time and people swerve to avoid. A slower speed limit would work wonders.

    Put a couple of those free standing things that show your speed.

    Bikers are stupid and think this dangerous road is a dandy place to ride. A few warning signs for them would be a good idea.

  9. Donna Phipps says:

    – it’s not the road – it’s the drivers
