So, was there anyone opposed to this who doesn't live on the street?
Seems like a VERY good idea for the betterment of the community with only some vocal NIMBY people opposed to it.
Let's not cow-tow to these few at the expense of the rest of the community

In passing this area when children are walking to school I have noticed some going into the street in front of cars, someone in a motorized wheelchair having issues navigating the curve, along with bicycles and cars all at the same time. Is this not a recipe for an accident?

It’s a treacherous street. In addition to the students, who often lack judgment about their proximity to traffic, there are a number of pedestrians on this street at night who are minimally visible, and any parked cars add more danger. As a driver in the area I am always worried about people not being seen on this stretch of road. I am so grateful that sidewalks are planned and I hope they proceed.

I bike this one block stretch of road nearly every day of the week. I'd love sidewalks! I'm always claiming the entire lane anyways (the only safe way to ride), it isn't going to make life more difficult for anyone. Adding sidewalks is only going to help the people who matter most.

Why is the city undertaking this project before doing a Safe Routes to School study? How do we know this is the best use of city resources? There are many, many places in the city that are dangerous for kids to walk and bike, and a lot of those places are in Belle Haven. Spending $$$ on sidewalks on Sharon Road before doing a Safe Routes study is a bad look when needier parts of town go without the basics.

The areas around all the Menlo Park City schools have limited parking during pick up and drop off hours. It seems like a cheaper and easier approach would be to limit parking on Sharon Road at those times.

Just came home from Supervisor Horsley and Mayor Mueller’s Office Hours. Huge support and enthusiasm for sidewalks on Sharon now!

I was at the meeting. There really wasn't a "mixed response".

The response was largely in favor of sidewalks (public comment was ~3:1 in favor of sidewalks).

The only dissenters were several residents on Sharon. The dissenters seemed to prioritize street parking and protecting their use of city land over allowing the community's children a safe passage to school.

In response to Resident, Unless you are from Canada, it’s ANYWAY.
