Residents press Daly City Council to mitigate Seafood City facade and add stop sign at Zena Manor/Eastmore
Summary
Residents asked the council to require visual mitigation for a new Seafood City building that they say is visually intrusive and asked for a four‑way stop or stop sign at Eastmore/Zena Manor to address repeated near‑misses and pedestrian safety concerns.
Multiple residents raised neighborhood safety and quality‑of‑life concerns during oral communications at the Nov. 25 Daly City Council meeting.
Renee Ananda, who said she lives on South Gate Avenue across from a new Seafood City construction site, asked the council and planning staff to pursue visual mitigation of a façade she described as “looking like a prison,” objected to the building’s height and proximity to the sidewalk, and requested council follow‑up on measures developers could take to reduce the visual impact.
During a coordinated series of public comments, several neighbors from Zena Manor, Eastmore and nearby streets asked the city to install a stop sign/4‑way stop at the intersection of Eastmore and Zena Manor. Speakers (including Yelena, Marianne Seki, Raja Kawas and Don Suki) described repeated near‑misses, poor visibility on left turns, increased traffic related to Northeast Medical Center expansions and school pedestrian activity, parked delivery trucks blocking sight lines and long‑standing neighborhood petitions for traffic calming. At least one speaker said a prior city manager dismissed requests unless someone dies at the intersection; speakers said that response had been upsetting and urged the council to reexamine the intersection before a serious injury occurs.
Councilmembers acknowledged the comments, reiterated the limits of responding during oral communications, and said staff would follow up after the meeting. The council did not take immediate action during the meeting; residents were told staff would process the concerns and respond to requesters.
