Many of you have already written to the City of Palo Alto concerning your views of the Speed Bumps on Matadero. That apparently has not been enough to change the City Staff’s decision as to what to do. THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN. And copy Hillary on the email hillary.gitelman@cityofpaloalto.org
Here is the email (8/12/14) I received today from Hillary Gittlemen, Planning Director, which is similar to ones she has sent to others who had contacted her previously.
” Many thanks to you and to everyone who has written in and provided comments regarding the recently constructed Speed Humps on Matadero Avenue. Many of the comments we received said the new humps feel very abrupt and expressed a preference for Speed Tables, like those on Maybell Avenue.
