> The only amenity they nixed was LinkedIn's offer to create new public open space

What?? Out of the proposed ideas (underpass, bike lane), this is the only one that makes any sense. Mt View needs more open space, especially with all this construction going on.

There are a ton of parks and open space in mountain view. They may be dispersed a bit, but bike lanes and pedestrian access would help with that more then putting in another park that only employees can easily access because an office park blocks it. Get some perspective, most of the new major developments include public parks, what we really need is better, more walkable infrastructure and the denser housing it will enable.
