It's very hard and dangerous for a bike to turn left here

Cars almost never stop at this pedestrian crossing, it's very dangerous. The crossing and lights are not always visible due to the trees. Cars travel on Fabian at 40-50 mph very often. It looks like a highway.

1. Cars on Ross do not always yield when entering the roundabout, even if a car is already in the roundabout and has the right of way. There have been several near misses.
2. It's not clear what bikes are supposed to do at this junction. The bike lane disappears. Cars cut up/overtake bikes to try and get through the roundabout first. There are some green road markings suggesting bikes should get onto the sidewalk but then what? Lots of kids use this junction to get to/from school and there are always issues here.

The traffic light frequently turns red for Stanford Ave traffic even when there is no one coming from Peter Coutts Rd.

The pavement is extremely rough / there are many pot holes. I've gotten a flat tire on my bike from crossing El Camino here, and from crossing El Camino in other places.

This entire bridge project including all associated ramps, observation deck, design decisions such as width, lighting, aesthetics, and how it all ties into the adjacent neighborhood and Baylands is stellar. This should be a model for all future projects.

This crosswalk should be a 4 way walk sign for pedestrians so kids and bikes can cross into Mitchell Park.

Cars always drive in the bike lane to try to turn right on the red. They block the bike lane for cyclists - usually kids biking home from school. Cars also turn right when there are pedestrians crossing.

The lack of pedestrian signage across Raimundo is a concern for my school-age children who walk to school. Cars drive through very quickly and fail to look for children. Could you please add a pedestrian crossing?

If the cross walk was on the North side of the intersection instead of the south side, the traffic headed south bound on ECR from Churchill could all turn left and the traffic back up would be minimal.

20 mile per hour zone school zone why is the “your speed is” speed monitor not working for months?

Dangerous intersection. Needs new zebra stripes at crossing. Many cars run red lights. Children crossing.

Huge potholes in both directions crossing El Camino from both directions east and west. Hundreds of students use this path to bike to Fletcher and Gunn High School. Please fill up these pot holes.
Also there a many potholes in the crosswalk and many use these crosswalks to travel to Walgreens. There are senior centers closeby and the crosswalks are dangerous to walkers.
These potholes are dangerous to walkers and riders and it doesn't make sense that this is a safe route to schools with this hazard.

The speed limit here is 25mph. Nobody follows this during off-peak hours, the usual speed is 40mph. There have been accidents at Keats & Middlefield, Cubberly/Montrose at Middlefield, San Antonio & Middlefield because of the increased speeds. Children use these to bicycle to JLS, Faimeadow, Hoover, Cubberly. Younger children are advised to take the pavement because the road is so dangerous, making the pavement dangerous for older pedestrians.

Bike/pedestrian bridge over Adobe Creek at Grove Ct would be excellent

No striping, signage, or lighting to advise/protect the connection from the pedestrian bridge onto the path. Make these two green lines connect safely.

Though clearly marked with “Dismount Zone” on both ends and multiple “WALK BIKES” on the bridge, it is not uncommon to nearly be impaled on the handlebars of cyclists zipping on the downhills going both ways…

Signage needed to explain how this east bound bike path connects to Charleston NB. Right turn to Carlson to request cross in pedestrian crossing? Wrong way on sidewalk to Nelson?

Please updated the striping and add more flashing lights to this pedestrian (and bikes that have no where else to go) crossing. Cars exiting US-101SB frequently are still moving at 50+mph at this junction

Parents dropping off kids at Nixon by car are forced to turn right onto Stanford Ave, leading to unnecessary traffic and irritated drivers outside Escondido. There should be a crossing guard or light in front of Nixon so drivers can turn left and egress to Junipero Serra in the morning.

Please investigate to identify the responsible party in Sep/Oct 2023 that used broadleaf herbicide to completely destroy all plant life in Adobe Creek from E Meadow Dr up to the confluence with Barron Creek.

Please finish connecting the bike path along Adobe Creek at least to Louis Road, as it is already a bike corridor as it crosses Charleston.

Pavement is terrible at this intersection

Pedestrian pathway not visible during night. Cars seen driving by without stopping despite the stop sign. Suggest an active light switch for the pedestrian pathway.

Heading east from Galvez across CA 82 on to Embarcadero Rd is unsafe for bicycles. There is no bike lane on Embarcadero between CA 82 and the traffic light for the entrance to PA High School, beyond where cyclists can take the sidewalk beneath Caltrain tracks. There is a concrete island in the east side the intersection of 82 that forces cyclists into a lane oftraffic. The road surface on 82 is full of potholes. I ride this regularly, and it takes nerves of steel to share the road with 2 lanes of cars that don't want to share.
