Town of Hillsborough PLUS

On the westbound lane of Crystal Springs Rd. (Hillsborough jurisdiction) just before the stop sign at the Hillsborough/City of San Mateo border, there are several potholes on the roadway on the bridge over the creek.

I wanted to alert you to a dangerous condition on Southdown Road. As you probably know, there has been construction ongoing at 1217 Southdown Road for several years now. Residents have had to deal with wide work trucks frequently blocking 1+ lanes, often on blind corners.

For the past few days, there has been a 12-18" deep trench where the gutter/shoulder used to be. This is extremely dangerous, especially considering the narrow width of the road, hairpin turn, and frequency of vehicles traveling in the oncoming lane. I would guess that the lane is less than 7' wide in spots, clearly insufficient for two vehicles to pass safely head on. If a cyclist were to fall into this ditch, they would suffer serious injury.

I hope that the Town demonstrates its commitment to its residents' safety and demands that this resident immediately fix this situation; if not, perhaps the road needs to be closed to one direction of traffic so that no one is hurt.

Here are some pix of the site, but I encourage you to stop by and see for yourself: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1xMi5tEFiW5ARqVZ7

The city needs to fix the edge of the new asphalt around this cover. It is a jagged edge that is too high and it creates a tripping hazard in addition to being a hazard to cars and bicycles because it’s jarring when you drive over it. It’s also hard to avoid given its location. City needs to fix asap as it’s been like this for a while.

Potholes all along the left side of the right lane, right before the stop sign on Ravenscourt at El portal. Trip hazard and cars need to go in the other lane to avoid it

In front of 10 Sandra, there is a metal panel embedded in the street, but it is not level with the street; it is embedded too deep and so driving over it is like hitting a curb or a speed bump. It's not marked as a speed bump or a curb and so cars hit it hard and it's damaging to tires.

The pavement on Citrus Court has not had any significant maintenance since it's construction prior to 1977. There are numerous areas where the pavement is crumbling, cracks completely across the street a 1/2 inch wide, weeds growing out of areas that were dug up to install the cable system and the monuments have sunk into the pavement close to an inch.

I have placed 4 calls to the public works department all of which went to voice mail and none of which have been returned.

I am seeking information as to when we can expect the pavement to be repaired and top coated.

The roadway in front of 1125 Bromfield is cracked and the pavement is pushing up. Possibly from the large redwood trees, the road is in dire need of repair.
