the speed limit should be lowered, esp between Celia's restaurant and 5th Avenue--I notice that people tend to drive a lot faster on that span

Improve lighting, cut back trees from lights and signs, keep the side of the street safe from debris and overhangs, make sure the road markings are easy to see. El Camino at this stretch looks like a road in the middle of nowhere expecting very little traffic instead of a major thoroughfare.

Are there sidewalks along El Camino? If not, that would be a big safety improvement.

Maybe it would be a big help reducing incidents if people were to work at not be in violation of traffic laws-a cyclist is not a pedestrian, and should never be crossing on their bike in the crosswalk. I saw a woman tossed 8 feet in the air on El Camino doing this because she darted out in front of a car. It didn't get a chance to see her.
