Newark sees fewer auto accidents but more fatalities in 1970
Newark reports a 19 percent drop in total auto accidents and a 31 percent fall in auto related injuries for city streets, yet fatalities doubled from three to six in 1970. City Manager Turnford credits targeted high frequency accident locations and improved street signage lighting and channelization for the reversal amid a 14 percent rise in traffic volume. Economic losses dropped from 584 880 in 1970 to 552 490 last year despite the fatalities. The council plans hearings on capital improvements, a Thornton Avenue district redevelopment, and a new Tri City bus program.
