Curbs like these jut out too far into the road way. Cars are routinely crashing into this curb which is blackened due to all the tires hitting it. At night and during times of poor visibility (rain and fog), these curbs are dangerous. Need blinking LEDS on each of these obstructions in the roadway.

Why is there a protected bike lane on Newell on the other side of Embarcadero but not here? How are kids expected to bike to destinations like the Art Center, Children's Theatre, Rinconada pool, Zoo safely?
-
This section of Embarcadero could use a protected bike lane. There are so many great places for kids to go to on the north-west side of Middlefield and Embarcadero (Children's Theatre, Rinconada pool, art center) but hard to get to by bike. After taking Coleridge or Newell, the bike friendly route just ends making it impossible for kids and teens to go to the destinations they want to go safely by bike.
-
There is a large curb that sticks out into the prematurely preventing vehicles from entering the right hand turn lane, which causes a traffic jam because many vehicles need to make a right turn. It also inexplicably forces the handful bicycles that travel this route each year into the road.

This part of Middlefield would benefit from a safer solution for bikers. There are so many great places for kids to go to on the north-west side of Middlefield and Embarcadero (Children's Theatre, Rinconada pool, Zoo, Children's Library) but hard to get to by bike.

This crossing feels very unsafe for everyone but especially kids on bikes. That is especially unfortunate given that there are so many great places for kids to go to on the north-west side of Middlefield and Embarcadero (Children's Theatre, Rinconada pool, art center) but hard to get to by bike.

Please make this a 4 way stop! Too many near collisions!

Intersection pavement in horrible condition, trying to get onto and off the bike path here. Please repave!

This intersection routinely causing a backup of vehicle traffic.

When biking between Palo Alto and Mt View, I use the tunnel below San Antonio Rd. The traffic barriers at the intersection of San Antonio Ave and Briarwood Wy make it difficult to navigate.
-
Mountain View built a ped-bike path from Del Medio Ave to the border in 2021, but Palo Alto has not connected to it because of private property.
-
Middlefield Road seems like the best in the city to make as bicycle safe as possible. It crosses the entire city north to south, connects with Menlo and Mt View, and is pretty central. If it can be done in Berlin, it can be done in Palo Alto.
-
Any chance the rode along Adobe Creek here can be opened to bicycles? The northern piece is great.
-
Will the protected bike lane reduce the number of lanes of automotive traffic on Embarcadero?
-
needs more bicycle parking at the midtown market
-
needs an easier path to enter town and country from embarcardero from the underpass
-
crossing from kingsley into the underpass is very scary due to cars coming past. consider ways to make this safer
-
needs a stop sign on byron and melville. Cars speed here and get trapped inside the speed hump and make a loud noise
-
feels scary to cross embarcadero as a pedestrian. Is there a design that will make this feel more safe?
-
waverly could use a stop sign at melville to prioritize pedestrian crossings
-
Would like to see some options that may reduce the speed of traffic by creating bike lanes and moving parking to closer to the center of the street, this will naturally slow down traffic here if the cars are closer to the center.
-
Waverly intersection needs a stop sign if converted to a bike highway. This helps prioritize pedestrians crossing waverly
-
Crossing at middlefield and kellogg needs a flashing light for pedestrians to cross. Cars cross at speed and dont heed pedestrians. This is a key route to school
-
The intersection with Arastradero and Page Mill is dangerous for bicyclists crossing. Need a way to protect left turns from Arastradero onto west Page Mill.
