East Palo Alto neighborhoods and gathering spots
East Palo Alto is a compact city on the bay side of Highway 101, and a lot of its building activity is residential: ADUs, additions and new single-family homes in the Gardens, the Weeks neighborhood and around University Village, plus apartment work in the Woodland Park area west of the freeway. Bigger commercial projects cluster along University Avenue and near the Ravenswood shopping center.
For events, people gather at Bell Street Park, Jack Farrell Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Park, and at Cooley Landing on the shoreline, where the Bay Trail runs past. Family reunions, church picnics and youth sports days are the typical rentals, and they usually need one or two standard units with a handwashing station.
Delivery from the Palo Alto side
Palo Alto and East Palo Alto share a border along San Francisquito Creek and University Avenue, so a job here goes through the same scheduling as a Palo Alto order. Many East Palo Alto streets are narrow with cars parked on both sides, so tell us if the unit has to go on a driveway, a front yard or behind a fence. If the only good spot is in the street, read the permit note below before we drop it.
Right-of-way rules in East Palo Alto
The city requires an encroachment permit for work in the public right-of-way, and that includes placing equipment on a street or sidewalk. Applications go to the city's engineering division by email, and a traffic control plan is required when a lane or sidewalk will be blocked. Contractors working in the city also need an East Palo Alto business license. On most residential jobs the simple answer is to keep the unit on private property, which avoids the permit entirely.
What we usually send to East Palo Alto
- One standard unit per small crew on ADU and remodel jobs.
- Two standard units and a handwashing station for a park picnic of around 100 people.
- An ADA-accessible unit for public-facing events, set on a level path near the parking area.
- A restroom trailer for weddings or quinceañeras held at a private home with good truck access.

East Palo Alto questions
Can the porta potty sit in front of the house on the street?
Only with an encroachment permit from the city. Most customers place it on the driveway or in the side yard instead.
Do you serve the neighborhoods west of 101?
Yes, including the Woodland Park area along the creek. Give us the address and we'll plan access.
