4 issues in roads with medium priority
Congress Avenue safe route to school sidewalk
Commissioner David's year-old proposal for a sidewalk along Congress Avenue between Sunset and Forest Grove Elementary is gaining traction — the superintendent and police chief both support it, and staff are now coordinating.
Sunset Drive walkway grant
Pacific Grove landed a $200,000 grant to build a separated walking path along Sunset Drive between Asilomar State Beach and the boardwalk, ending the free-for-all between walkers, bikes, and cars on that stretch.
Potential Expansion of Paid Parking
The council liaison reported the City Council authorized staff to explore paid parking along Ocean Boulevard near the planned ATC project, using phone-app meters, and possibly along White House as well.
ADA parking and Sloat Avenue markings
A remote commenter flagged faded parking tees and wrong-way driving near Sloat and Dewey, and backed a request for an ADA spot near Lighthouse. Staff said the median spot doesn't meet criteria but will evaluate the block and report in June.
