Sand Hill Road repaving and tunnel maintenance

What: residents of the Sand Hill Circle neighborhood say Sand Hill Road, their only access, is in failed condition and cannot be repaved until a Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club tunnel under the road is reinforced. The city has no record of who is responsible for maintaining the tunnel.
Where it stands: raised in general public comment on 10/13/2026 with a petition of about 155 signatures. Staff said talks with the club are continuing and staff will follow up with the two homeowner association representatives. No action, deadline or named point person yet.
Next: residents asked for a point person and a deadline; a water main is currently being laid along the road.

Speakers described no ingress, egress, fire, medical or police access if the road or tunnel failed (about 180 homes and over 400 residents, plus businesses at 3000 Sand Hill Road).
One speaker, a lawyer, asked why the city had not used a writ of mandamus or condemnation to force the matter.
Vice Mayor Wise was thanked by speakers for meeting with them; City Manager Murphy and staff responded.
