When LAPD Senior Lead Officer George Aguilar responded to an accident earlier this month on Ventura Blvd., he experienced first hand how unsafe the Valley's popular artery is for pedestrians. Even with a police car next to him, he felt like a "bowling pin." Aguilar, whose area covers most of Sherman Oaks between the 101 Freeway and Mulholland Drive, announced last night at a monthly neighborhood watch meeting that he's upping the traffic enforcement along the street, including ticketing cars that don't yield to pedestrians on marked crosswalks. So you've been warned, come to Sherman Oaks and speed or blow off peds, they're looking for you.

Ventura Blvd was the only place in LA where I got hit by a car. Was riding my bike on the street, but it felt too dangerous. So I swung on the sidewalk and was hit by a car pulling out of the Sportsman's lodge. the jerk drove away, but destroyed my bike. I, however, was fine.
Glad your okay! Yeah, I hate riding my bike on Ventura, I choose Moorpark if I can.
Thank god for SLO Aquilar. He is an asset to our SO community. He's a nice guy too!
Indeed, he's been great to have! And if you don't know Justin Bergmann in the north part of Sherman Oaks, you should get to know him too!
It's about time! Pedestrian safety needs to be enforced with an iron fist.
Hear hear!
