But look more closely and you will find some room for improvement. From this angle, this charming small park almost looks like Paris. And, at the far end there is a really nice playground that seems well cared for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ec7bd23ba1c624c50f69c1/7bde1bba-3c39-4cbe-a890-c0ad1fd0bed1/3445+Alma+Portraits+Long+view+of+lawn+IMG_4546+%281%29.JPG POPOS - 3445 Alma Street - Alma Village [Midtown] 2007 - Make it stand out This lawn looks like the perfect play area and is well clipped. However, when I asked the neighbors in the townhomes that were also part of this project, whether they played on the lawn - they replied “Oh no! There is way too much dog poop!” So there’s that. Room for improvement both by the dog “owners” and the Owner’s maintenance company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ec7bd23ba1c624c50f69c1/65b85252-10a7-456f-8238-793694beb4b0/3445+Alma+Portraits+and+Signs+of+unwelcome+Parking+One+Hour+Retail+Only+IMG_1625+%281%29.JPG POPOS - 3445 Alma Street - Alma Village [Midtown] 2007 - Make it stand out I don’t usually like to focus on this but indeed there seems to be a parking shortage here. The Grocery Outlet, other businesses, the Community Room (another truly under the radar Public Benefit due to this issue) and those who want to use the Alma Village park and playground are all vying for a few 1 hour spaces - for retail use only. https://www.paloaltopopos.org/popos-spaces/shirow-49tmr-ndgyr monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ec7bd23ba1c624c50f69c1/b374fe7f-0a7f-49b1-bfde-a04890566bfd/IMG_7633+%281%29.JPG POPOS - 2080 Channing Avenue - Edgewood Plaza - [Duveneck-St. Francis] 2013 - Make it stand out Edgewood Plaza serves as an exemplar POPOS. There is space for groups of different sizes to gather, find shade, and experience a genuine sense of the Commons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ec7bd23ba1c624c50f69c1/291dad85-b201-41b5-a90f-6affb0369f7d/2080+Channing+Ave+Portraits+plaque+edgewood+plaza+then+and+nowIMG_9554+%281%29+%281%29.JPG POPOS - 2080 Channing Avenue - Edgewood Plaza - [Duveneck-St. Francis] 2013 - Make it stand out Edgewood Plaza - Then and Now.

This spot has the potential for such a combination with a bus stop vs busboys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ec7bd23ba1c624c50f69c1/7413ccbe-043b-4f4a-80aa-8eedefb672cd/2701+El+Camino+Real+Ivy+Park+Living+Front+Entrance+PortraitIMG_9612.JPG POPOS - 2701 El Camino Real - Bus Stops and Poets* - [California/Sheridan Avenues] 2004 - Make it stand out Ivy Park LIving is a senior assisted living and memory care community located at the end of Sheridan Avenue where it meets El Camino Real.

The Public “didn’t get the memo”. It’s a slice of land for a slice of time. Is the Public eating its “portion”? It’s only “open” when the restaurant isn’t… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ec7bd23ba1c624c50f69c1/7d8bd78f-aa8f-4e94-96ee-cda50d6ad7ed/Public+Benefit+_+800+High+Street%40Homer+_+Photo+_+Saint+Michael%27s+Alley+_+2024-10-15+IMG_3136.JPG POPOS - 800 High Street @ Homer Avenue - Public Slice - [Downtown South] 2003 - Make it stand out St. Michael’s Alley has furnished this POPOS very nicely.

The Public sidewalk is 5 feet wide and this POPOS doubles that - adding 5 feet additional feet for half of two blocks. Voila! A “Double-Wide” sidewalk that is a spacious 10 feet wide for half of two blocks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ec7bd23ba1c624c50f69c1/fb890daa-e382-4259-9a12-80c3acc30c9a/390+Lytton+Lowenstein+%26+Sandler+w+bike+rack+IMG_0089.JPG POPOS - 390 Lytton Avenue - The Double-Wide Sidewalk [Downtown North] 1994 - Make it stand out *This POPOS features a bike rack.
