This section of Park Blvd is too narrow for two-way bicycle and vehicle traffic when cars are parked on both sides of the street. Suggestion to remove parking on one side of the street in the narrow section.

As of November 2023, since mid 2018 at least 3 bicycles were stolen from properties around here. Some theft were reported to the Police of Palo Alto. Also maybe at least around three two ir three other bicycle theft were reported to the Police of Palo Alto in the blockone theft . As such there is a serous issue in bicycle theft in the block here.Also two cars were reported as stolen also. Although bicycle are a convenient and low polluting vehicle considering the high risk of theft here it is suceptible to of often theft. Beware of prowlers and thieves here coming from the sidewalk and street of the city of Palo Alto ( on this block) 24 hours a day 7 days a weeks. Also there were many tresspasser foraging in the private garbages. Some prowlers have brought on a private property here some plies some rebar bar, some two foot long bolt cutter, some hacking kind of tool, some kind of small knife looking item, some empty Narcan packaging, some bicycles, some cars.

The intersection of Fulton and Middlefield is very dangerous. PLEASE make this intersection a four-way stop. Fix this problem before someone is hurt or killed.

New bike bridge becomes much more beneficial if the bike lane were extended further along Adobe creek. Safe continuous East-West bike routes are unavailable anywhere in Palo Alto and are sorely needed.

There is no way for cyclists to get to the train station on palm drive without switching to using side walks. Ideally a bike lane would exist here

Crossing this intersection as a cyclist to connect to the bike path feels very unsafe due to either very high school traffic or cars not looking for cyclists and not stopping. I suggest a way for cyclists to signal for cars to stop without needing to use the pedestrian infrastructure.

Cars speed dangerously on Seale between MIddlefield and Newell. There need to be traffic calming devices implemented before there is a fatal crash.

Seale Ave is a speedway for commuters avoiding Middlefield and Embarcadero. There are numerous accidents on Seale & Middlefield as well as catastrophic rollover on Seale and Newell earlier this year. Our family has lived here 40 years and the problem continues to trend dangerously. Previous studies have been ineffective. A stop sign at Seale and Fulton or speed bumps would help reduce the risk to pedestrians and bikers.

Pedestrian and bicycle traffic is very hard to accommodate. Many close call/accidents of bicycles going in both directions,pedestrians walking to multiple schools and heavy car traffic driving much too fast and speeding around corners. Slowing measures are needed.
