Awesome.. can't wait to not use the new center as much as I never used the old center.
What's the over/under on the final bill? $23.5 million will look like a bargain 3 years from now when this thing is a year behind schedule and blows the budget.

What are they going to do about all the bums, vagrants, and other undesirables hanging out all day in the park?

They took the park fees collected to buy new parks and are using them to build new office space for staff. Don't be deceived! We have been screwed yet again by city staff working for themselves not the people who live here!

This is terrible timing for the homeless, since the Mountain View Library will be remodeled hopefully starting in Sept through part of 2018.
From the Mercury News: Recognizing the evolution of the purpose of library services, the Mountain View City Council has approved a $3.8 million project to remodel the Mountain View Library.
The project is part of the city’s Capital Improvement Program for 2017-18 that was approved in June. The money for the library will come from the Shoreline Community Public Benefit Fund.

When they built the new library 20 years ago, they moved the current facility to trailers out by Middlefield and Moffett during the construction, since the city still needed a library. So we don't need a community center for two years?
In two years, most of us can't remember what was torn down to make all the new housing along ECR and San Antonio. So why should we remember what the Community Center was for?
Why not just turn the current building into a homeless center, since they will be the ones who need it the most?

TWO YEARS??? Closed for TWO YEARS??? You could tear down the community center and build a TEN STORY HIGHRISE in less than TWO YEARS!!! WHO is doing the "upgrading", a bunch of hamsters? And just exactly WHAT is being built AND FOR WHOM is it being built?
