Combined, the city and county are funding over $340,000 to fund the program for 2 years. That's $170,000/yr to provide parking for 40 vehicles, which amounts to almost $400/mo/vehicle. I'm curious to know more about the budget for this program. Does that include gigabit internet and cable TV?

When those vehicles park along busy streets like Shoreline, they block bicycle lanes causing a serious safety problem for bikers. Any program that gets them off of the streets and out-of-sight would be wonderful.

Can you please clarify the number of RV's allowed to park at St Timothy's or any other church in the future.

If we are going to allow RV’s to park on shoreline why don’t we make them pay for a weekly or monthly permit. It doesn’t have to be a lot. It’s just that way we know who’s living in or neighborhoods and it sets guidelines and rules and proof of registration and insurance. Everyone residential or RV dwellers must pay their fair share to live here.

I would support putting the camp right near the Los Altos or Palo Alto border.
