Council eyes ban on e-bikes

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Los Altos City Council will consider cracking down on e-bikes after city employees reported teenagers riding on sidewalks, weaving through traffic, popping wheelies and not wearing helmets.

Council on Tuesday will vote on an ordinance that would ban e-bikes on the sidewalk, unless the rider is under

THE UPDATE

TRAFFICKING CHARGES: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of human trafficking for the MS-13 gang, allegedly smuggling illegal immigrants from Guatemala, El Salvador and other countries to the U.S. He will be brought back to the U.S. to face trial.

WAYMO TAKES OFF: Waymo, the self-driving car service, has made significant strides in San Francisco, capturing 27% of the city's rideshare market in just 20 months.

INSURERS SUED: Fire victims in Los Angeles County have filed lawsuits against major insurers, including USAA and AAA affiliates, claiming the companies underestimated the replacement cost of homes, stiffing policyholders after the Jan. 7 fires.

GAS BAN REJECTED: A Southern California air pollution agency has voted to reject rules that would have banned gas-powered furnaces and water heaters. Opponents of the ban said it would raise costs for consumers [See THE UPDATE, page 8]

Would limit rides on sidewalks

12 years old or the road doesn’t have a safe bike lane.

The ordinance would also require helmets and limit e-bikes to one rider at a time. Groups of e-bike riders would only be allowed to ride in rows of two, and riding on school campuses would be illegal.

Acrobatics, tricks or stunts wouldn’t be allowed.

Parts of the ordinance are the same as state law, but having local rules will allow police officers to issue fines instead of sending tickets to traffic court, Capital Improvement Manager Steven Son said in a report for council.

Fines would be $50 for the first offense, $75 for the second offense and $100 for the third offense.

Son told the Complete Streets Commission in October that he’s seen four people riding on a single e-bike.

“Some of the e-bikes I see utilizing our downtown area as a playground,” Son said. “They’re stopping wherever they want. They could drive wherever

Council may end road closure

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ

Daily Post Staff Writer

Menlo Park City Council Tuesday may end a lingering remnant of Covidera closures by reopening all of Santa Cruz Avenue to cars.

Council will vote whether to end the hotly debated street closure along the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue, where restaurants have used the street for an outdoor dining space.

The closure along the 600 block is the only part of the street still closed from council closed all of Santa Cruz Avenue to vehicle traffic in 2020.

Bistro Vida, Loretta and Left Bank, currently use the closed space. The three restaurants are planning to stop using the closed lane as extra space, according to a report from Assistant City Manager Stephen Stolte. Bistro Vida

Teens lob fireworks at Pride revelers

Redwood City police said that they’ve arrested two 13-year-olds for throwing firecrackers into the crowd and making anti-gay slurs at a Pride Event on Wednesday at Courthouse Square that injured one person.

The perpetrators fled before police arrived.

Police said one person sustained minor injuries.

Police said that at 5:55 p.m. Wednesday, they got a report that “individuals had thrown suspected fireworks into the crowd while shouting discriminatory and homophobic remarks.”

A portion of the attack was captured on video surveillance, police said. Later that evening, one suspect — a 13-yearold boy — was located and taken into custody, police said. On Thursday, police arrested a second suspect, also a 13-year-old boy. Both juveniles were taken to the San Mateo County Youth

Tim Willis, 62, journalist

Timothy Lee Willis, a longtime journalist and a former copy editor at the Daily Post, has died at his home in Marysville, Calif. He was 62.

As a copy editor, he improved stories and wrote headlines on tight deadlines. At the Post, his colleagues remember him for his wit and good nature.

Willis, who died May 28, was with the Daily Post from 2009 to 2018, and previously worked at the Palo Alto Daily News.

At the time of his death, he was a copy editor at MediaNews Group’s NorCal Design Center, which edits and

designs 12 papers from Monterey to Chico.

“He was a good word guy. He had a good sense of humor,” said Mike Wolcott, editor of the Chico Enterprise-Record, who worked with Willis. “You could have taken Tim and put him in any newsroom and would be a good fit.”

Willis worked as both a reporter and later an editor.

However, colleagues recall that Willis was most proud of being a father to his son, Tyler. Willis enjoyed museums, reading and following politics. He grew up in the Bay Area and the Central Valley. He especially liked traveling to San Francisco where he could be found visiting museums and bookstores.

Friends will get together to remember Willis at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Bar Bocce, 1250 Bridgeway, Sausalito.

Woman sexually assaulted in RV

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

A man has sexually assaulted a woman in her 50s living in her RV by the city of Palo Alto’s golf course, police said yesterday.

The man in his 20s broke into the RV on Faber Place on Sunday between 6 p.m. and midnight, inappropriately touched the woman and then left, po-

lice said. A hospital worker reported the case on Monday morning, police said.

Officers identified the man and sent the case to prosecutors to consider a charge for “felony assault with the intent to rape in commission of a burglary.”

Officers are not actively looking for the suspect at this time, Lt. Dave Lee said in an email yesterday.

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS

SUMMARY OF AN ORDINANCE TO DESIGNATE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 51179.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN the Los Altos Hills City Council has introduced, on May 15, 2025, and proposes to adopt, on June 18, 2025, an Ordinance of the Town of Los Altos Hills to Designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones Pursuant to Government Code Section 51179. Specifically, if adopted, the Ordinance would adopt a map entitled “Town of Los Altos Hills Fire Hazard Severity Zones” to specify that properties in the Town of Los Altos Hills in Fire Hazard Severity Zones of medium, high, and very high based on CAL FIRE recommendations with local amendments to the maps and findings based on substantial evidence for those properties increased to a very high fire hazard severity zone in accordance with the Government Code Section 51179.

Said map is located electronically on the following website: https://www.losaltoshills.ca.gov/640/Fire-Hazard-Severity-Zone-Maps.

The fire hazard severity zones would then require the town and property owners to respond to regulations related to CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act), the Subdivision Map Act, the General Plan Safety Element, State Fire Safe Regulations, Sales Disclosures, Home Hardening, and Defensible Space based on the fire hazard severity zone designation.

Adoption of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment since they do not create any land uses, approve any development projects, issue any entitlements, or make any physical changes to the environment, but are regulatory actions taken to implement state law requirements only.

Additionally, this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 as the Town is required by and authorized under Government Code Section 51175 et seq. to take this action to designate fire hazard severity zones, which would either require or encourage/facilitate fire prevention and mitigation measures to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment by reducing wildfire and structural fire risks. As such, this ordinance is a regulatory action involving procedures for environmental protections.

This Ordinance Summary was prepared pursuant to Government Code Section 36933. The full text of the ordinance is available from the Town’s City Clerk’s Office at 26379 Fremont Road, Los Altos Hills, CA, or on the Town’s website at www.losaltoshills.ca.gov.

plans to take down its tent for outside dining in midMay, according to Stolte’s report.

Three options

Council will have three options to decide on for the future of the 600 block of Santa Cruz, Stolte said.

• Reopen the 600 block and only keep the closure in front of Walgreens, which is currently used as an open seating area.

• Open the whole block to cars and restore parking spaces.

• Keep the street closed and rediscuss it in a future meeting.

If council were to pick the second option, the process to reopen the street would take a minimum of three months, as it would take removing the bike lane and repainting any affected parking spaces.

Those for, against

“Please open Santa Cruz Avenue. It’s a public street. Only a few restaurants benefit from street dining. Those few restaurants have a sense of entitlement, but they’ve taken over the street at the expense of other shops and downtown visitors,” Los Altos resident Pat Marriott said to the city in an email.

Others see the closure as an opportunity for the community to get together.

“I believe that it is in the best interests of all age groups of the community to keep the closure permanent. It has become a gathering spot on weekday afternoons and weekends for teenagers and younger to gather after school or during the weekends all day in a safe space that is safely accessible, whether on foot or on a bicycle,” resident Scott Robinson said to the city in an email.

In May, council unanimously approved reopening Ryans Lane, which was also used for outdoor dining.

Ryans Lane was closed during the construction of Clark’s Oyster Bar at 780 Santa Cruz Ave., formerly Ann’s Coffee Shop. Carpaccio at 1120 Crane St. was using the closed area for outdoor dining in the meantime.

Downtown angst

The debate over reopening Santa Cruz Avenue is just one facet of angst that residents and downtown merchants have levied at the council. Council last week decided to continue with plans to redevelop three downtown parking lots into public housing. Residents are currently gathering signatures to put a measure on the ballot that would require the city to get voter approval to develop city-owned land — like the lots. That same group is suing the city over its plan.

Menlo Park City Council will discuss the closure of the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue at its meeting on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

EBIKES –––––––

they want, pop a curb. They’re doing what teenagers would do on a bicycle, but the difference is there’s a motor that’s now involved.”

Sgt. Michael Taylor said he gets regular complaints from downtown businesses about bikes on the sidewalk.

“But there’s no state law that says that they can’t be, so that’s where it’s tough for us,” Taylor told commissioners.

Where are their parents?

Commissioner Stacy Banerjee said some parents aren’t doing their job.

“Because I’ve seen what goes on downtown, and it’s not just that I’ve seen it once and never seen it again. I’ve repetitively seen it, and it’s shocking,” Banerjee said.

Commissioners in January recommended banning sidewalk riding only in the downtown area.

But police officers have seen similar behavior around Los Altos High School, in other business districts and throughout the city, Son said in his report for council.

“Limiting restrictions to downtown would not effectively educate residents on the proper use of e-bikes and e-scooters,” Son said.

She ran on this Councilwoman Sally Meadows last year campaigned on making the streets of Los Altos safer, even if that means losing some of the city’s rural feel. She said she wants to see brighter crosswalks, more green paint, protected bike lanes and renovated shoulders. “It does make it feel a little less rural. But when you’re balancing safety, especially when you’re talking about kids and routes to school, I think you’ve got to go with doing what we can to make things safe,” Meadows said in a campaign interview.

PRIDE

Services Center. “The act of hate and violence is unacceptable and deeply troubling. Redwood City does not tolerate hate in any form,” said Mayor Elmer Martínez Saballos. “We are committed to being a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community for all. What happened last night is not reflective of our values. We will continue working with law enforcement, community leaders, and residents to ensure Courthouse Square and every space in our city is a place of safety, respect and belonging.”

Calls to event organizers yesterday to find out more about the incident were not returned.

Previous fireworks incident

This isn’t the first time a downtown Redwood City event has been derailed by teens with fireworks.

In one incident on May 20, 2022, an estimated 150-200 teens were at Courthouse Square shooting off fireworks while the Fox Theater hosted Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai. The ruckus outside led to Fox General Manager Ernie Schmidt asking attendees of the event to sit tight until things had calmed down outside.

At the time, police said that they got a call about a large group of teens setting off fireworks and blocking the sidewalks and street. As officers arrived, the group began to throw things at them. Two of the teens began to fight the officers. One officer was bitten in the arm and kicked in the chest, and another was hit, police said at the time.
