Graeme Clifford has come to almost every public safety commission meeting to discuss safety issues on Las Flores especially speeding at the dangerous curves. Each month there are many complaints to the sheriff's STTOP program about speeding on this road. Speed kills. It's very dangerous especially for cyclists as many of the streets in Malibu are. Very sad to add another death to the growing list this year.
