  • Pothole Archived
    Ravenswood Ave Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA - Menlo Park
    This isn't a pothole, but it was the best choice for description. When, oh when, is the horrific raised asphalt on the SB side of the rail road tracks going to be fixed. Even going Very Slowly over it, my car is jostled around to the point that groceries spilled all over the back seat of the car. This is dangerous and particularly so for a drive who doesn't expect to be thrown around, nearly into the adjacent lane. What is the timeline for fixing this?

    Corner of garwood and glenwood, there's always lots of junk dumped by the "donation" box. Why is the box there and can it be removed? It seems to just attract illegal dumping
  • Menlo Ave & University Dr Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA - Menlo Park
    The crosswalk spanning University Ave by Menlo Ave (by Drager's) is confusing to motorists and dangerous to pedestrians. Driving down University towards Middle, motorists must contend with a) a strange double stop, b) a sudden, car-length split into left-turn/straight lanes, and c) an angled crosswalk. Moreover, signs/instructions are placed in unexpected locations. These unique features lead to cognitive overload, especially when pedestrians are present - it often becomes unclear as to who has right of way. While crossing this crosswalk earlier today (proceeding towards the side opposite Drager's), I was nearly struck by a driver heading towards Middle in the "straight" lane (on the far side of Drager's). While the driver was at the first stop sign, I began to cross, but a stopped car in the left-turn lane obscured the driver's view of me. By the time the driver was at the second stop sign, I was in the middle of the crosswalk and hidden by the driver's A-pillar. The car came within a foot of running me over and didn't see me until I was at their window. I have witnessed other close calls at this intersection as well. I'm not sure what the specific solution is, but my general feeling is that the intersection/crosswalk needs to be simplified. I don't believe the orange flags at this intersection are adequate (and seem unsafe given COVID-19).
  • Downtown Menlo Park Menlo Park, CA, USA - Menlo Park
    Please address the issue of homeless squatting in downtown Menlo Park. Amanda, who is now spread out all over the old Flegels storefront and adjoining properties, and with carts all over Santa Cruz Ave, is now continuously shouting out at people. She really frightened a young family downtown today , as they passed, ( 6 ft apart- they have to walk in street to avoid her encampment). I spoke with a public health person a few weeks ago who was checking in on our group of homeless downtown, and the she said Amanda refused to be checked medically, so she just let her be. During a public health crisis, this is not safe for her or for the city. She is truly in need of some sort of assistance. I have observed her for the past few years, and this new behavior of shouting/screaming at herself and others needs some attention.
  • 771 Pierce Rd Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA - Menlo Park
    This is an empty lot at Sevier and Madera. The lot has a whole bunch of household garbage dumped on one side. Please have the owner fence the property to prevent dumping.

  • 633 Santa Cruz Ave Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA - Menlo Park
    Hello. There is a person everyday using the corner of Santa Cruz and Doyle, in front of the Bank of America Building, as his office. He is hooking up to the public electrical outlet to charge his phone and computer. At 830pm on 8/8, the attached pictures show that he left 3 large water containers, his electrical charger, plastic fold up table and other items. How can this be allowed? This is essentially an encampment. What are your thoughts?

  • Santa Cruz Ave Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA - Menlo Park
    Hillview School bicycle traffic before and after school is very dangerous. I encourage bike riding but having students ride on opposite sides of the road and on sidewalks is going to end up in an accident. The are 9 or 10 streets that come out on Santa Cruz Ave. Many drivers are looking left first when coming to a stop and when it is clear, they accelerate. A bicyclist going in the wrong direction in the bike lane or sidewalk could be struck. I encourage your department to go to the school, educate the students, and enforce for a day or two. This would easily solve, what could be a disaterous situation. Thank you for your attention on this matter. John Worthing
