I think this calls for a big "decorative" boulder or two in the yard.

I was thinking something like a row of concrete bollards so that at least her yard has a fighting chance.
@eosha @mke_geek I know someone who lives an old farmhouse in Glendale, and the road curves around the front of the house in a way where if you are going straight down the road and you aren't paying attention, your car will be in his laundry room. He was telling me at one point that buying a boulder to put between his house and the road was cheap enough but shipping was a problem.
Damn 6 crashes per year.. imo, thats just straight up negligence from the city/state. Idk what more could be expected though. Villard is long/straight/excessively wide & 64th is also long/straight/excessively wide. Such an intersection just calls for trouble.
Villard just won a raise/tiger grant for a traffic calming redesign.. hopefully it addresses this intersection as well.
