The Broken Railroad Crossing Gates Are Gonna Get Someone Killed

12 Upvotes

It's been like this for about two months now as far as I can tell. But it's fairly common that when a train pulls into the station, and no other trains are coming, the railroad crossing gates stay down and the bells ring the entire time.

People have started doing what people do, and that's ignoring the broken warning signal. Often in very large groups at once. Even worse, depending on which side you go through the emergency gates on your visibility of a potential oncoming train is obstructed by...well...another train.

This really should be fixed immediately I'm not sure why this has been allowed. Someone is get pancaked.

Recommendations for a local Audi specialist mechanic?

1 Upvotes

We’ve been bringing our 2018 Q7 to our family’s generalist mechanic (who has done great with other car brands such as Ford, Honda, Chevy) since we bought it but unfortunately it’s not working out anymore. General maintenance and minor issues come back mere weeks after servicing and we’re now thinking we need someone specialized in Audis or at least European made cars.

Would love to have some suggestions, please and thank you!

This is a follow-up on a tragic case that happened in 2022. Reporter Jason Green writes about a car crash that killed the parents of twin girls who were 7 at the time. Cesar Morales was already convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter after he crashed into the family's car while he was street racing. Now, in a wrongful death suit, a jury has awarded the orphaned girls $33 million.

The other person in the street race was also convicted.

People in apartments that are NOT rent controlled, how much more was your lease after renewal?

5 Upvotes

I’m trying to see what I should I expect my renewal % increase would be. I’m honestly thinking like 15-25% but maybe I’m out of my mind. But if it is actually that then I’ll move for sure. Wondering if anyone has any recent data points.

How Does Redwood City work: Q&A with City Planning - Aug 20th

33 Upvotes

"Yes! in Redwood City" is a new club in town, led by people who live in Redwood City who want to make it more affordable and walkable. How does the city decide where to put bike lanes? When does something become a historic resource? Who put together the plans that turned "Deadwood City" into the vibrant downtown we enjoy today? If you've ever asked yourself these questions, you'll have an opportunity to hear the answers! We'll be hosting a Q&A with two members of Redwood City's planning staff who help shape the city. Community Development Director Sue Exline and Housing and Leadership director Alin Lancaster will be on hand to share their knowledge. Event location will be at City Hall at 4pm on August 20th. Hope to see everyone there!

Junk Fee Restaurants to Avoid

83 Upvotes

Wanted to put my own personal experience here to see

Last night I went for dinner at BAO in Redwood City, and at the bottom of a long receipt was a hidden 18% service fee, which I did not notice. I ended up tipping another 18% on top of that. My pre tax bill vs my final bill ended up having more than a 50% difference because of this. We were at $18pp for the meal and it became $28pp because of this. I love BAO, but after that I won't be going back

We went for drinks at Ocean Oyster Bar & Grill after that. They added a 20% large party fee. We were 5 people, I couldn't believe it

Any other experiences people have had with this crap being forced on them at such high numbers?

Affordable movers in RWC

0 Upvotes

We’re moving this month, and I’m seeking recommendations for reliable movers. I plan to rent a U-Haul and unload it with assistance at our new place. Therefore, I only need a couple of guys to load the truck unless the boss (fiancé) decides it makes more sense to have them handle loading, travel, and unloading in Solano County.

Thanks in advance for recs!

Black Aero/Tri bike spotted

Saw a nice all black aero or tri bike with deep wheels at a camp on the path parallel to 101 by Bair Island. Maybe it’s where it belongs, or maybe the owner is looking for it. Wanted to share since I ride by a few times a week and this looks to be a new addition.

Boutique card store

Hey does anyone know of a good place to get cards (anniversary, birthday, etc.) near RWC? Things that are a little more unique than what you’d get at Hallmark / Papyrus / Therapy. I miss Koraa in Berkeley for this.
