The man was riding a "Go-Go Pride Mobility Scooter" when he was struck and killed on the tracks in San Mateo last week.

The San Mateo County coroner's office is asking for the public's help in identifying a man who was by a Caltrain on the tracks in San Mateo last week.

The man, about 60 to 75 years old, was riding a "Go-Go Pride Mobility Scooter" when he was struck at about 4:45 p.m. by a southbound train at the East Fifth Avenue Caltrain crossing, according to the coroner's office.

He is Caucasian, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, and weighs about 130 pounds. He has brown eyes, gray/silver hair cut in a flat-top syle and a gray/silver moustache.

The man was wearing a black Furnagalli pea coat, an Old Navy classic fit button down black short-sleeved shirt, Old Navy classic black pants, black socks and black leather dress shoes.

Anyone with information that will help the coroner's office identify the man is asked to call (650) 312-5562.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
