How about reducing the speed limit to 20mph as governator has signed into law ?
AND how about more of those signs, WALK FACING TRAFFIC. Still lots of people walking and running with traffic.
(Please no snarky rebuttals...)

As a prefatory comment, being a council member in Atherton (perhaps anywhere) involves a lot of work, little thanks, and no reward.
Rick Degolia has done a great job. He's a hard working, intelligent, humble, compassionate, sensitive, and accessible man. We're lucky to have him as a council member, and mayor.
I'm not comfortable with how the mayor rotation was handled. In truth, Bill Widmer hasn't been particularly nice to me. I personally like Rick much more. But, it seems like a very juvenile way of going about something that's principally an honorific (the title of mayor). I think it Is damaging to the increased professionalism and cordiality I have seen in the Atherton government compared with some years back.
I can't agree that the end justified the means. Of course, the first sentence in my post applies to Bill's service also.

Would be great if Elena Ave. between Park Lane and Isabella had a dedicated pedestrian walkway. Many of us walk our dogs here as it provides a reasonable length loop without having to contend with traffic and noise on Valparaiso and El Camino. But, between the mud in the wintertime and the never-ending construction trucks parked on the side of the road, we're constantly forced into the road where cars are often whipping by.
