The collision was first reported at about 9:40 a.m. in the intersection of Greenwood and Hutchinson avenues. Police officers and firefighters arrived at the scene and found Eugene Conroy, 73, uncon- scious with major injuries. He was transported to a local hospital, but succumbed to his injuries the following day, police said. The Specialized Traffic Accident Reconstruction (STAR) Team, which is investigating the case, has not yet determine the cause of the collision, but the initial investigation suggests that the bicyclist did not stop at the stop sign while traveling east on Greenwood, and the driver of a 1993 Nissan Altima sedan, who was traveling north on Hutchinson, which does not have a stop sign, struck the bicyclist in the intersection. The driver, a Palo Alto resident in his 70s, was not injured and remained at the scene with investigators. There is no indication at this time that drugs or alcohol were a factor, police said.

Let’s Talk About Home Care. Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one. Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client's unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock. Home care supports advanced care needs. Our caregivers are experienced and trained to support older adults who are transitioning home from the hospital, recovering from a stroke or a major medical procedure, or managing chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or diabetes.

Facts about Palo Alto’s housing

When it was built Seventy-six percent of Palo Alto’s existing housing stock was built before 1980. A major growth spurt occurred after World War II, with about 29 percent of all housing going up between 1950 and 1960. Only 11 percent of the city’s housing was built between 2000 and 2012. Trends in growth Between 1970 and 1980, the city produced 240 units of housing per year. Over the next two decades, the number dropped to 144 and 96 units per year, respectively, before climbing to 173 units annually between 2000 and 2012. Types of housing There were 17,614 single-family homes in 2013, or 62 percent of the housing stock. Multi-family units comprised roughly 38 percent. Mobile homes, trailers and other forms of housing, which in 1990 made up 4 Alto Palo of City Courtesy percent of the stock, only accounted for 0.35 percent in 2013.
