Hello city council! My car ride home was severely delayed by a matter of 30 minutes by a rather large series of construction starting north bound on the 101 around the Willow Road exit through Seaport Blvd in Redwood City. We were looking to access the Marsh road exit and were surprised when our...
Dear City Council Members, I appreciate your efforts to make pedestrian and bike access safer on Coleman Avenue, but I would like to strongly oppose making Coleman Avenue a one-way street. I live on Berkeley Avenue in Menlo Oaks and I believe this would have several negative impacts. First, it...
Hello City Council, My name is Oliver Borrone, and I currently work in the front of the house as General Manager at Cafe Borrone in Menlo Park. We are located in the Menlo Center right on the El Camino. It has recently been brought to our attention not only by customers but by staff as well - that...
The pilot idea to make Coleman Avenue one way is unacceptable and decreases the safety for other routes to school. Traffic will be sent to Ringwood Avenue and Bay Road. The intersection of Bay Road and Ringwood is very busy during commute times. The intersection is used by students using the pede...
Piloting one-way on Coleman is the most sensible first step to try to make a green pedestrian and bike corridor while preserving many, many heritage trees that line the road.

As a resident of Lindenwood, this is a terrible idea.While it may make it safer for children during the morning commute, it creates a multitude of problems...
Dear Mayor and Council members, I want to applaud you for closing Blake Street to vehicular traffic from/to Middle Avenue. Coupled with the recently installed flashing beacons at the same intersection for pedestrians crossing Middle Avenue, it has been a huge improvement to the safety of Blak...
Dear City Council: Thank you for approving the closure of Blake St at the intersection with Middle/Nealon Park. I have lived on Blake St for more than 10 years and during this time have witnessed "cut-through" traffic increase dramatically (by which I mean traffic that has no origins in our...
The proposal to make Coleman one way or closed at the county line are unacceptable. These ideas send traffic to other streets and into other neighborhoods where there are kids, commuters, bikers as well, making those areas more dangerous. The intersection of Bay Road and Ringwood has heavy traffic...
Council, thank you for considering child bike safety. We live on Santa Monica Avenue and our 15-year old twins went to both Lower and Upper Laurel. We are against making Coleman Avenue one way because it will push more commuter traffic onto Santa Monica Avenue which is not set up to handle the vo...
