Great news about the bike racks! I wish that bikers would observe the no riding bikes on the downtown sidewalks rule. There are signs posted along downtown Santa Cruz Ave. but many don't care and expect pedestrians to move out of their way. I wish the police would enforce this rule.

Menlo Park is slowly chasing Palo Alto on encouraging people to visit downtown without driving their car. Palo Alto has had big bicycle racks on every downtown street corner for years. One of the biggest deterrents to bicycle transportation is the risk of theft and forcing people to lock their bikes to street signs or trees has always been sketchy. What Menlo Park needs now, of course, is safer bicycle routes to Santa Cruz Ave, especially for people commuting from the other side of El Camino Real.

Unfortunately city planners seem to ignore the fact that sidewalks are for pedestrians and a if you use a wheel chair or walker the numerous sidewalk dining and sidewalk bike racks obstructions make it very difficult for the handicapped to navigate the sidewalks safely. Curious as to what ADA regs say about sidewalk access.

whatever is right. We should be removing parking spots and putting the bike racks where they used to be!

Yay! The lack of bike racks in downtown MP has been a pet peeve of mine for the 32 years I've lived here. It's about time. Thanks San Mateo County!
