Whenever you post a map or chart on MV-VOICE, it is always unreadably small.

Please consider linking to original PDF or some version of the image where the "full" version of the pictures have text that is at least 10-point (or larger).

Also, posting "pictures" of content with text isn't very Accessibility/ADA/translation/a-million-other-things friendly.

Hi PICTURES.

The City does a great job of posting plans, charts and PDFs online for review on all upcoming projects. You may find them at MountainView.gov . For the direct link to all thing East Whisman, you may go here: Web Link

Plans are also available as part of upcoming agenda packets for meetings by going to the City website and choosing "Council Agenda and Minutes" from the Popular Links to the right. Additionally, you can sign up to get notifications when anything is posted in your preferred topic areas using MyMV (any City topic, at all -- not just planning projects).

Hope this helps.

New elementary school (Slater #2 with 2 story 450 student classrooms) is already in the mid-planning stage by MVWSD. What is not needed (IMO) is trying to get developers to pony up a public school-site in the Whisman/Slater neighborhood.

What is needed is city-responsibility every-day play park. A dedicated play park - with infant to K sized permanent play equipment. OR - A dedicated softball field (as was asked of the MVWSD, for their Slater School site) - is that how this neighborhood wants to invest millions for Parklands? Dedicated new parkland sites - are completely secure from a school district deciding to build a needed school (on city parklands).

The MVWSD lands need to primarily be dedicated to schools and PK, K-8 public schooling, supporting families in this local public education endeavor.

note: the MVWSD Board has just signed an agreement for the original Slater school buildings, run as Google's "The Woods" company preschool, for a 10 year extension - going to about 2028. I think the general concept - supporting community kids/families, is GOOD. I wish the new Bd. President had insisted for EXCELLENT open-community vetting, Agenda Discussion item, followed in two weeks by Discussion & Action item. Instead this was sneaked onto the CONSENT AGENDA. Not at all illegal - just damn poor governance in THIS community (IMO).

From what I've seen, the city does not require street parking around these industrial areas. Might I recommend street parking so that private citizens can use trails and other public areas? The practice of allowing hundreds of thousands of square feet of business space to be built, while no street parking is made available, and while street parking is taken away in many cases, is a disservice to Mountain View's residential constituents.

This practice of allowing industrial sites to avoid street parking, blocks residents' access to hiking trails, and other public access. It's really ridiculous that private residences have street parking but businesses don't!
