Bayfront is the most dangerous street in the county. You hear about pedestrians, bicyclists, and even car drivers and passengers getting killed there all the time. I'm glad that the cops are cracking down. I wish the road could be better designed so that it would be safer without police intervention.

I like having more local police on the road because it makes drivers mindful of how they're driving. I wish the MP police force would take one day out of the month and focus solely on downtown Menlo Park. The number of people running stop signs, making illegal U-turns, not stopping for pedestrians, etc. is out of control. You have to be very careful as a pedestrian downtown, that's for sure.
