Early Plea For NO Roundabout At Pine & Eardley

Bad drivers. As a former Eardley Ave resident, I saw people speed down the hill, locals and visitors. Roundabouts will not solve the problem.

A Pacific Grove tradition — plowing vehicles into buildings — happened again last week when someone drove a Toyota SUV into a house. The crash occurred Thursday, Aug. 6, at about 3:45 p.m., when the Toyota’s driver struck the corner of a house at Eardley and Pine avenues.

Driver one, who was “most responsible” for the accident, according to police, was visiting from Washington state. The Toyota driver is a Pacific Grove resident. Though driver one failed to yield, responding police officers decided not to issue a citation — another tradition in Pacific Grove.

According to MPD Lt. Ethan Andrews, shortly after 2 am. Feb. 1, offcers were dispatched to a submerged vehicle at the boat launch ramp near the U-S- Coast Guard pier. They arrived to find the four-door sedan overtumed and in the water “The vehicle was unoccupied and resting on its roof,” he said.
Surveillance video captured by a nearby camera showed the car “driving through the parking lot at a high rate of speed and down the boat launch ramp into the water,” according to Andrews. “The vehicle floated for a brief period before sinking.” They have the where, when and how, but not the who or the why.
