Yorba Linda Holds Community Vigil at Veterans Park on November 12 for Three Students Who Died
The City of Yorba Linda, in Orange County, California, said a community vigil would take place on Thursday, November 12, at 4 p.m. at Veterans Park, in the wake of the tragic loss of three Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District students, to honor and remember the lives lost and to support the families, friends, and loved ones affected by the tragedy.
The city said a large gathering is anticipated and encouraged residents and visitors to plan ahead. Significant traffic congestion and increased pedestrian activity are expected around Veterans Park before, during, and after the vigil, along Yorba Linda Boulevard, Casa Loma Avenue, Valley View Avenue, Imperial Highway and Bastanchury Road, and nearby residential streets may also see increased traffic. Motorists were advised to allow additional travel time, consider alternate routes, and exercise extra caution around pedestrians.
Parking near Veterans Park is expected to be limited. The city encouraged attendees to carpool, follow all posted parking regulations, keep residential driveways, sidewalks, and access points clear, avoid blocking intersections, use designated pedestrian crossings, and follow directions from law enforcement and traffic control personnel.
To accommodate the anticipated gathering and reduce traffic impacts, Yorba Linda City Hall closed at 12 p.m. on November 12 and will reopen on November 13 at 8 a.m. for regular business hours.
