the down escalator hasn't been working for weeks and people with a disability, wheelchair, crouches, etc, have to travel all the way to the other end of the store to get to an elevator to get to the parking lot. Can you do something? This escalator constantly breaking down for the same issue weekend week out. Help!!! Tks Rob

The little library outside the gazebo has been missing a window for weeks. Would it be possible to install a mini window so that we can put books in there without it getting wet? Thank you!

I write to bring to your attention the longstanding concern shared by myself and fellow residents regarding the deteriorating condition of Hawthorne Way. Over the past seven years, we have consistently expressed the urgent need for the repavement of the street of Hawthorne Way.

It has come to our attention that the city, in collaboration with PG&E funding, has chosen to pave only the westbound side of the street. However, it is concerning that the city is unwilling to allocate funds for the other side of the street (eastbound side), even when presented with the opportunity to benefit from a discounted rate for simultaneous paving.

This decision to pave only one side poses a significant risk for car accidents, as drivers are prone to concentrate on the paved section while driving. I have already observed multiple drivers gravitate towards the paved section even if it means driving against oncoming traffic. Compounding the issue are Mills High School students who drive at high speeds, up to 40 to 50 mph on Hawthorne Way, along with the curvature of the road. Additionally, numerous potholes further contribute to the perilous state of the street.

In light of these pressing concerns, I implore the City of Millbrae to repave the neglected side of Hawthorne Way. Addressing this matter comprehensively is not only a matter of safety but also a testament to our commitment to fostering a secure and well-maintained community.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the city will take the necessary steps to rectify the current situation promptly.
