Resident urges city to prioritize sidewalks and traffic calming near Kenneth Place
Summary
A written letter from Dr. Maya Ganapathy raised concerns about pedestrian safety on Kenneth Place and Dolores Avenue, citing increased foot traffic from redevelopment, narrow streets, and lack of sidewalks; she asked the council to keep the area in mind for future infrastructure discussions.
The council read into the record a written letter from Dr. Maya Ganapathy, a resident of Kenneth Place, asking the city to consider pedestrian and traffic-safety improvements in the Kenneth Place and Dolores Avenue area.
In the letter, Dr. Ganapathy said redevelopment in the neighborhood has increased pedestrian activity — including children walking to bus stops — while the streets remain narrow and lack sidewalks. "Vehicles turning onto Dolores from Olive Boulevard and navigating parked cars and pedestrian traffic can create challenging visibility and safety concerns," the letter states.
Dr. Ganapathy explicitly said she was not requesting an immediate project but asked that the city keep the area in mind for future pedestrian-safety, traffic-calming, sidewalk and infrastructure discussions and requested the correspondence be retained in the public record.
