Unnecessary ticketing

I was given a ticket last night for what the officer claimed was a missed stop at a stop sign. I take that street home from work several times each week and haven’t done that mistake in the past. Last night, a passenger bus came into the street and its bulk size and wide turn caused me to get distracted. The Officer pulled me over and told me I missed a stop, I apologized and mentioned I am very careful going home this way and it was an honest mistake.

Illegal Parking & Lack of Enforcement

Hi, I live on 132 Grace Avenue and illegal parking is a constant hassle here. We live on a cul-de-sac, a dead end street, so neighbors think it is ok to leave their cars parked wherever. We always have trouble getting out of our own home. Police is non responsive to calls and never come to enforce parking. It is especially bad when a particular neighbor (131 grace ave) has parties every few weekends and their guests' cars get piled on. It is not safe. We might not be able to get out in case of emergency.

Dumping

Someone dumped a Love seat on Green street at the corner of cooley.  Please have it removed before more dumping occurs here.

Regular Vaping/Drug use and Disturbance of the peace at East Palo Alto Library

Hello,

I have twice been to the East Palo Alto library in the past week for multiple hours at a time. Once on a Tuesday evening and a Saturday morning.  On both occasions there was a strong odor of marijuana smoke inside the library. There seems to be rampant drug use inside the library. there were also a group of adolescents raising their voices playing video games and listening to loud music. I believe they may have been responsible for the drug use too. 

 

encroachment permit

A barber shop is operating in the 2200 block of Menalto Avenue in a converted Recreation Vehicle. I would like to see a copy of his encroachment permit and business license. The trailer is also being used for sleeping at night.  There is also another recreational vehicle that is being used as home at the same location. I would like to get a copy of the policy that governs recreational vehicles on residential streets.

Cooley Ave Cross Traffic

Good Evening, 

Inspection of a house

We have lived over 14 years in this home. But we think that certain changes from the house that have been made have not been reported to the city to be inspected.

Enforcement of street sweeping in whole Kavanaugh/Gloria neighborhood

Hi,

Not sure why the no parking/tow away for street sweeping on Thursdays and Fridays morning in the whole Kavanaugh/Gloria neighborhood is not enforced. Same for people who park on the red tow-away curbs.

Hopefully the parking/traffic police unit can come back on Thursday and Friday mornings in the whole neighborhood and enforce/ticket as necessary.

Thanks.
