• Thomas LaCroix is a native of North County in the San Diego area. Thomas currently works as a web developer for Schwab. As an engaged reader of Strong Towns, Thomas decided to nominate this crash for our review because he couldn’t stop seeing the problems associated with street design and transportation in his community.
