Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Monterey public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Del Monte Beach driveway encroachments
A resident says city-built sidewalks narrowed his driveway below code, leaving him unable to use it and getting tickets for guests. He wants the city to fix its mistake.
E-bike safety on the bike trail
Commissioners keep raising dangerous e-bike speeds on the trail, but planning staff says it's not their jurisdiction — it goes to the City Council, police, and public works.
Police and fire facility needs
The police association and firefighters both asked for more NCIP money: the police station is outdated and overcrowded (evidence stored in conex boxes), and Fire Station 12 in New Monterey needs major work plus $100,000 for temporary swing space at Hilltop Park Center.
