The Christmas light displays in the Thoroughbred neighborhood in Rancho Cucamonga attract viewers from all over the region. Earlier this year, Rancho Cucamonga passed a “Drive Thru Only” Ordinance in an effort to improve public safety.

The lights are stupid and just bring car fumes to the neighborhood

Doesn't matter to me.

I think that it should be walking only Dec15th - Dec24th

I would tend to go with whatever the residents prefer.

Stop having event

I think it should be closed to cars, and rope off to keep people off residents property

Hate the traffic

I wish they would cancel them altogether. The lights create way too much traffic and bring crime

seems it will make a lot more vehicle traffic everywhere near the area...

I like having option to walk & mingle w/community

I feel the traffic is going to be horrible. There are other ideas that would work better.

I am really glad I am not a prisoner in my own home during the holidays.

We live in the area and will wait to see how it goes.

It’s not what I prefer, but I understand the need

I think whatever works for the residents of that area...

Until the end of Dec.

I'm curious to see the outcome as I live in the restricted area.

This will only work if the new policy is ENFORCED STRONGLY!

I don't live in the area so I can't give an opinion how it impacts their direct neighborhood

I dont live there so I defer to the homeowners in that area.

Could be a good idea if they rout the path so traffic does not jam and flows smoothly and quickly.

I defer to the opinion of those living in the area. It is their call in the matter.

I think it will be a traffic nightmare, but hopefully it will discourage people from visiting.

I’m neutral on the idea because I am not a resident of thoroughbred Street. And I’m sure there are

This year has seen decreased foot traffic already on Thoroughbred/Carnelian. Thank you!

ISo VERY wrong. WALKING the route has been a great holiday event for our family for decades

Will need to assess the traffic impact on neighborhood & if they prefer this

While I understand the concept, I feel it now pushed everyone to walk it earlier.

I'd prefer walking only

I don't live in Thoroughbred, I would want to hear the residents input. If it reduces crime, then

I never just drive through. I like to park further down towards 19th and then walk up.

I don't care

If it helps the residents who live there.

I understand the need for it but I’ve missed the walking part when I could but hot cocoa! Tax dollars should not be spent on this at all.

I would like walking only

I think those who travel from out of the area and plan to walk will cause a worst traffic provlem.
