Stevens Creek Trail Options Narrowing Wednesday Night

Commuters, recreational users: Do you walk, bike or otherwise use the Stevens Creek Trail? Would you like to? Don't miss hearing about this process!

 

The City of Los Altos is participating in the The Stevens Creek Trail Joint Cities Feasibility Study, with the goal of determining feasible and preferred alternatives to complete a multi-use trail in the Stevens Creek corridor running from Mountain View to Cupertino. 

On Wednesday night, one of a series of public meetings is being held to help the study consultants and city staffs in determining next steps in narrowing the choices and work toward completion of a multi-use trail in the Stevens Creek corridor.

The study will identify a broad range of trail alternatives based on existing plans/policies/studies, community input, geographic/physical/biological and institutional conditions and opportunities.

The study will then conduct certain technical engineering feasibilty analysis, scientific assessments and public vetting of identified alternatives and screen to a small set of technically feasible, community supported alternatives.

The study will provide information necessary for each city to consider advancing a project to the environmental, design and construction phases.

One meeting has already been held at Grant Park in Los Altos. The next meeting is Wednesday, Jan. 30. See below and our map.

Wednesday night, the meeting is 7 p.m., at the Sunnyvale Community Center Ball Room, 550 E. Remington Ave., Sunnyvale.

See the map next to this article.

Corrections: 1. Straw man attack: nobody is blaming BCS for district-wide growth. Nobody. 2. BCSRead More does not get "half the funding" of LASD. BCS gets about 6500 and LASD gets about 9500. The BCS program for typical children costs about twice as much as the comparable LASD program. BCS is simple an expensive hybrid public/private school, nothing more. 3. Mr. Roode pointed out that there are about 100 or so special ed. students at LASD (I cannot verify this but it seems very low). LASD calls out an annual expense of $7.5 million for special ed. meaning each of these students cost LASD $75,000, not $1,000 as he implied. 4. The law and the courts have ALREADY compelled LASD to give reasonably equivalent facilities and they have. BCS has a lower student/teacher ratio meaning that they have more classrooms for the same number of kids. This is not, legally speaking, LASD's problem. 5. Mr. Roode has yet to explain how the Covington campus could be 16 acres. Further, he continues to spread the fallacy that campuses ACREAGE is even remotely relevant to its student capacity. Campuses are limited by their location and traffic, not how many acres of grass there is in the back. 6. Were it not for BCS, we would have passed a bond in the last election, as the polling shows. BCS litigation has ripped our community apart and has left it with a mountain to climb when it comes to operating in a normal fashion.

@David R. I think Homestead uses EarthCare Recycling, based on its April 6 E-Waste collection dayRead More publicity (http://bit.ly/10mIV14) : www.earthcarerecycling.com "Recycle FREE your old electronic equipment - working or not! Anything with a plug or PC board inside. Also accepted are non-household batteries, VHS tapes and other media, and scrap metal. Visit www.earthcarerecycling.com for a list of accepted items. "

What kind of bins are there? Do you take used CDROMs? How about VHS tapes? Cables and wire?

I saw a public report that said most of the discussion related to carpooling and so forth, sinceRead More Blach is separated so much from the rest of the school. You know, things like dropping off both kids at Egan, and then a group of kids headed for Blach share a ride or vice versa. I don't see how any nonparents can really help with that.
