When walking on the concrete sidewalk next to the property located at 335 College Avenue, one's would hurt his/her shoulder by scraping against the bushes of the property at 335 College Avenue that are over the concrete sidewalk. This was notified via 311 to the city but the bushes are always there encroaching over the concrete sidewalk since at least 3-4 years. If two handicaped person would walk there one would hurt it self maybe with the branches of the bush of the property at 335 College Avenue.

The truck UPS (the delivery company truck) since at leasst three year is parking sometimes on the left side of the street on College Avenue. Also the USPS (United States Postal Service) truck may park on the left side of the road on College Avenue between El Camino Real and Park Boulevard - that is illegal. It may create a road hazard.

Many pedestrians on Cambridge Avenue near 470 Cambridge Avenue are crossing not in the marked crosswalk. Maybe there is a Palo Alto Ordinance saying that one must cross at marked pedestrian near 470 Cambride Avenue.

In front of the building located at 424 College Avenue, there is a bush planted on the private property located at 424 College Avenue that was let by the owner grow over the concrete sidewalk since maybe at least 4- 5 years. If a pedestrian wants to use the public concrete sidewalk on the North side he/she has to be scraped by this bush and have a wound. It was notified via 311 many times and the bush is still over the sidewalk and dangerous if you walk on the sidewalk.

As of Dec 2023, since maybe 4 years, nearly all the bicycle do not stop at the stop sign here even when a Palo Alto Police car is parked nearby. Not stopping at a stop sign riding a bicycle is against the law, it seems.

A resident at 390 College Avenue is leaving maybe 4 car on Ash Street there without moving each car every 72 hours as indicated in a Palo Alto Ordinance.

Since several year, a car is parked on the left side of the street (contrary to the California Vehicle code requirement). It may pose a safety risk maybe when the car is starting to drive on the car. Now since several months there are usually two car parked on the left side of the street (Ash Street) in front of the building located at 2160 Ash Street. This is against the California Vehicle Code.

Many times a car is left partly on the concrete sidewalk blocking the East side of the two way concrete side walk by usually either a car that is a Chevrolet Volt or a Rivian Truck. These car were left there partly on the private property (355 College Avenue) and the public (?) sidewalk. If a blind pedestrian were to pass there it would be not so simple, maybe.

Crosswalk should be painted here on the speed bump at the Junior Museum. Cars are not stopping for students and museum goers who cross here. Drivers do not realize that this is a walking path to the park. Submitted by Walter Hays School PTA

Dangerous intersection for students as cars are not stopping at this stop sign intersection. Larger stop sign needed.
Crosswalk re-striping also in dire need. A push button flashing pedestrian crossing would be preferred for the number of students and park goers that cross here. Submitted by Walter Hays School PTALiked 0 times -
Crosswalk and striping needed badly. A push button flashing pedestrian crossing would be preferred. There is not a logical place for students, swimmers and tennis players to cross at this highly trafficked intersection. The crossing from one side at Cedar does not match the roll-up curb on the other. Submitted by Walter Hays School PTA

Crosswalk needed. There is not a logical place for students and swimmers to cross at this highly trafficked intersection. The crossing from one side at Pine does not match the roll-up curb on the other. Also, gravel should be added to the walkway between the street and the Magic Forest, currently a muddy dirt path.

Crossing alert sound for sight impaired is too low. The alert sound is helpful for all students but needs to be louder. Submitted by Walter Hays School PTA

On all corners, "when children present, no turning on red" signs are far too small and unreadable. Consider installing electric light "do not turn red" signs (similar to train crossings) when the pedestrian/bike button is pushed. Submitted by Walter Hays School PTA

I have witnessed countless non-injury close calls re car-on-car as well as car-on-bicycle and also car-on-electric scooter safety incidents occurring when waking-biking-rolling traffic approach the stop sign intersection of Maybell Avenue with Coulombe Drive especially during school days' student drop-off and pick-up hours. This intersection creates an extreme hazard for automobiles, pedestrians, bicycles, and rolling traffic. I have previously reported this traffic hazard to PAUSD as well as the Palo Alto City Council but no follow up was done by the City to mitigate the extreme traffic safety problem.

I have witnessed numerous non-injury close calls re car-on-car as well as car-on-bicycle and also car-on-electric scooter safety incidents occurring when the Tesla car dealership delivery truck illegally parks for long periods of time on the Walgreen's side of Maybell Avenue in the 'No Parking Any Time' zone during school days' student drop-off and pick-up hours. This parking violation creates a recurring extreme hazard for automobiles, pedestrians, bicycles, and rolling traffic. I have previously reported this traffic hazard to PAPD but no follow up was done by the City to mitigate the extreme traffic safety problem.
