Neighbor speaks up about Sunnyvale signs driving motorists mad: Roadshow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:48:34 GMT

Q: The bigger problem with no right turns on red at Mathilda in Sunnyvale (they are also at the intersection of the Highway 101 south exit and Ahwanee) is that only about 50 percent of drivers obey them.For those of us who live in the adjoining neighborhood and know about the restriction, it is common to get honked at or unsafely passed by people who don’t know or don’t care about the restriction. As a 20-plus-year resident of the nearby neighborhood, this part of the Mathilda upgrade has not been a good one.Chris AntonioA: You raise very valid points.Q: Motorists legally using express lanes should not feel pressured by other motorists for obeying the law. The real issue is the need for better enforcement so that motorists who obey the law can feel comfortable using the services they have paid for.I would also be interested to know exactly how money collected for tolls, including bridge tolls, is actually being utilized.

New wave of antisemitic flyers on Danville trail adds to hate-crime ‘heat map’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:48:34 GMT

DANVILLE — Under the cover of darkness, the Iron Horse Trail is an easy place to post anonymous, antisemitic flyers. In daylight, the well-traveled rail trail provides a bevy of eyeballs for the hateful messages that have been cropping up in the Bay Area.But the high traffic in places like the Iron Horse Trail, which runs more than 30 miles between Concord and Pleasanton, may also speed up the removal of such flyers. That’s exactly what Tom Maneloveg did last weekend when he spotted a colorful paper pinned to a pole while on one of his frequent early morning walks with a friend along the trail.“You couldn’t miss it — the moment I saw what it was, I pulled it down and showed my buddy,” Maneloveg said. “I’m Jewish, so I was somewhat taken aback and offended by it. … That (flyer) was the only one we came across, but we’ve been speculating as to whether there were more. Maybe other people already on the trail took them down.”His experience on the path near Del Amigo Sw...
