Depiction is very different from the fenced in donkey corrals with strings of lights and patio heaters. BUT LOOK AT THAT SIDEWALK!!
Parklet problems continue in Pacific Grove. The city is pushing back discussions to next week on the future of three parklets on a busy road in Pacific Grove. The main reason for the changes is safety.
“Safety wins over seating,” said Frank Syster who lives in Pacific Grove.
“I think it’s great to have a pedestrian-oriented city, and I think this just makes us more pedestrian, which is great,” said Dea Greenwalt who lives in Pacific Grove.
Pacific Grove Pedestrians Could Regain Walking Capacity If City Approves New Parklet Plans
Wait, the taxpayers bear the cost of this? No no no. The businesses that are using what was parking spaces need to pay for it.
The new dining area proposal — which could cost taxpayers $250,000 — would route pedestrians on the extended sidewalk around the dining area and toward the street. That configuration, the subcommittee said, would offer more room for pedestrians, including disabled people.
Whatever the council decides next week, members will likely discuss the demolition of Victorian Corner parklet, which is not compliant with a new state law — Assembly Bill 413 — that went into effect Jan. I. T
Another rule that is needed, the spaces need to be occupied more than 3 hours a day 5 days a week. Pointing at you Spotted Duck. Parklet space sits unused until 5 pm except Monday and Tuesday when it’s empty all day.

DEI now has two people to not show up for any meetings. How’s that for “screwed up”?
Peake appointed Bruce Doneux, a 76-year-old massage therapist who’s lived in Pacific Grove for four decades, to the task force, and Kim Bui, the DEI’s current chair.
At a PGUSD board meeting last October, Doneux told trustees that racial bias in Pacific Grove should be addressed by White people “getting together and figuring out why we’re so screwed up,” before he promoted a local group called Whites for Racial Equity,
Frederick Murray Sr.
Police are asking the public about information on a man who went missing from the city five months ago. Police last week informed the media Wednesday that Frederick Murray Sr., 67, has been missing since July 25, 2023. His vehicle was found in Big Sur the next day.

From 2016 to 2020, Mountford conspired with another person — who prosecutors do not identify — to submit false income tax returns claiming refunds to which they were not entitled, according to prosecutors.
For Congress, Cedar, and Sunset. Admittedly not my favorite 5 way stop. I forget all right of way rules I learned and just go when it looks safe. P.G. has already blown $800.000. Cost of roundabout said to be $10,000,000. Probably double that after the bike lane no one will use is added plus an underpass for mountain lions.
If the consultant determines that a roundabout is the best alternative for the intersection, and the council OKs the idea, it could cost more than $10 million. But because of a ballot measure sponsored by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County that voters passed in 2016, P.G. will have $5 million to use toward the junction. The first phase is also being paid for by the measure.
