Fresno’s Power Move and Safety Push | Fresno News

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Fresno’s mayor is backing a bold ballot measure that could let him and city council members serve up to 12 years—or three consecutive terms—and he’s already said he’ll run for a third if voters approve. The change would also extend tenure for several current council members, with a City Council vote looming in November. Meanwhile, shoppers in Fresno and Clovis are getting new retail options: a second Resuscitated Thrift has opened in Clovis, The Thrift Vault is now on Cedar Avenue, HomeGoods is set to debut at Fancher Creek Town Center later this month, and another Miniso is coming this fall. On the safety front, a civil grand jury has slammed the notorious “Friant Roulette” intersection for its dangerous conditions—over 80% of crashes there stem from drivers running red lights, worsened by poor road design, tree obstructions, and confusing signals. Though the city invested $2.5 million earlier this year, which has already cut crashes since April, the grand jury is demanding more: increased police patrols, clearer signage, and better road markings to make this high-risk spot safer.
