The town doesn't want to post signs that improve road safety because they are too ugly? What kind of joke is this? Is this the reason some intersections in town don't have any stop signs in any of the directions?

I heard that the land next to the parking lot is owned by MPROSD and could be a parking lot if Portola Valley consents.

it's definitely a safety issue that needs to be resolved now. there's nothing aesthetically pleasing about the current signs which are huge, beat up and awkwardly placed. the smaller common no parking signs would look much cleaner and are enforceable. don't out think yourselves on this one any longer please.

Woodside needs to look at the overflow parking at Wunderlich on Woodside Road. They have the same issue. Cars are parked over the white line into traffic lanes which are already busy with bicyclist, cars, motorcycles,horses, Sunday drivers, people trying to cross the road. Something is going to happen.

I can't imagine that a No Parking sign would be more "annoying" than a car parked out into the roadway. As a bicyclist I have encountered danger there many times, much to my exasperation. I also hike there and park in the recommended overflow lot if I need to do so. I find it ironic that people going there to hike are unwilling to hike a little more to park in a place that doesn't endanger others.
