(LIVE STREAMED VERSION)
A
A
Hello,
everyone:
it
is
6
30
and
I
called
the
joint
commission
meeting
for
lawrence
needy
park
to
order
tonight
and
this
joint
commission
meeting,
including
cupertino
parks
and
rec
commission
planning,
commission
bike
and
pet
commission.
And
so
we,
let's
start
the
roll
call
of
parks
and
rec
commission.
B
All
right,
commissioner
sanik
here,
commissioner
kumar
upon
yeah
in
chair,
shoe
here
and
for
right
now,
commissioner
swami
and
vice
chair,
big
gore,
are
absent.
G
A
Good
so,
let's
start
the
roll
call
of
bike
and
path.
Commission.
A
Okay
sounds
good,
since
we
don't
have
any
previous
mini
minutes
to
approve.
J
Looks
like
chair
shoes,
let's.
J
Sorry,
I
think
you
froze
up.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
only
for
me.
Sorry,
chair
shoe,
also
ask
for
any
oral
communication
prior
to
this
item.
Oh
so.
A
A
K
You
chair,
my
name
is
connie
cunningham.
I
am
a
resident
of
cupertino
for
the
past
34
years.
I
wanted
to
speak
to
it's
related
on
june,
the
seventh.
There
were
two
ceremonial
matters,
one
for
a
proclamation
recognizing
june
as
immigrant
heritage
month
to
celebrate
the
history
and
achievements
of
immigrant
communities
across
our
nation.
K
On
that
theme,
what
I
wanted
to
urge
the
planning
commission
to
do
during
the
course
of
the
continued
discussions
on
the
human
element,
housing
element
excuse
me
is
to
is
to
consider
strongly
changing
zoning
in
advance
of
the
or
during
the
housing
element
discussion,
so
that
we
can
encourage
people
of
all
nationalities
and
all
pri
excuse
me:
income
levels,
all
ability
levels
to
be
able
to
build
and
live
in
our
community.
A
L
Okay,
hi
there,
everyone,
I'm
helene
davis
and
I'm
a
private
citizen,
but
I'm
also
speaking
as
a
former
parks
and
rec
commissioner,
and
I
was
on
the
commission
during
the
negotiations
with
the
roads
and
the
airport
department
and
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
tour
the
site
and
I
think,
there's
just
incredible
potential
there
and
I'm
sure,
with
input
from
our
community
that
the
city
will
determine
what
the
best
use
is
for
the
property.
L
My
personal
choice
would
be
some
kind
of
nature
preserve
the
creek.
There
is
just
really
special,
it's
it's
still
pretty
wild
and
I
did
fill
out
the
survey.
So
there.
J
A
M
A
Yeah
and
thank
you
for
joining
this
meeting
and
provide
community
inputs.
So
now
we
don't
have
yeah,
we
don't
have
anyone
else
wrist
or
wrist
hands.
Okay,
so
let's
get
to
agenda
number
one
and
and
yeah
many
residents
supported
a
new
park
on
east
side.
Cupertino
and
lawrence
midi
park
was
actually
discussed
for
more
than
10
years,
and
now
we
are
glad
to
see
our
city
started
the
study
and
design
work
of
the
park.
So
let
our
director
to
introduce
more
details
of
the
current
status.
J
J
It's
to
consider
an
update
to
the
joint
commission
on
the
status
of
the
environmental
summary
report,
public
outreach
process
and
next
steps
for
the
lawrence
midi
master
plan
project
and
the
recommended
action
is
to
receive
an
update
on
the
status
of
the
environmental
summary
report,
public
outreach
process
and
provide
input
on
next
steps
for
the
lawrence
midi
master
plan
project.
A
couple
of
items
wanted
to
just
get
everybody
on
the
same
page.
J
The
reason
we're
doing
this
joint
commission
meeting
instead
of
bringing
these
items
to
you
at
your
individual
commission
meetings,
is
really
just
to
expedite
the
process
and
to
have
everybody
in
the
same
room
to
hear
the
feedback
and
that
we're
getting
from
all
the
different
commissioners
regarding
all
the
things
involved
on
this
project.
So
we're
happy
that
we
could
get
a
quorum
from
each
of
these
commissions
to
be
able
to
conduct
this
meeting
this
evening.
So
thank
you.
J
The
other
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
mention
is
after
we
have
the
presentation
and
we
do
go
to
questions.
We
would
really
appreciate
everyone
to
use
their
raise
your
hand
feature.
Since
there
are
so
many
different
commissioners,
it
will
be
quite
helpful
for
us
to
be
able
to
call
on
people
and
facilitate
the
meeting
in
a
timely
fashion.
So
we
appreciate
your
cooperation
and
now
I
will
turn
it
over
to
lisa
and
our
cip
team.
That
is
handling
the
presentation
for
this
evening.
Thank
you.
N
You
want
to
share
a
screen
there,
jan
thank
you
good
evening,
commissioners,
welcome
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
tonight
to
discuss
the
work
completed
to
date
for
the
development
of
a
park
at
the
lawrence
midi
site.
My
name
is
lisa
camelli
and
I
work
in
the
capital
improvement
program
and
I'm
the
project
manager
for
the
development
of
the
park,
we're
looking
forward
to
an
opportunity
to
build
a
park
that
reflects
the
community's
needs
and
is
aligned
with
the
goals
of
the
2020
park
system
master
plan.
N
We're
excited
to
be
here
to
present
the
work
completed
on
the
project
and
to
get
your
feedback
regarding
the
next
steps,
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
key
members
of
our
project
team.
First
with
the
city
we
have
with
us
tonight,
susan
michael,
is
the
capital
improvement
program
manager.
N
Joanne
mcgraney,
who
was
just
speaking,
is
the
director
of
parks
and
recreation
and
matt.
Morally,
is
the
director
of
public
works
additionally,
in
december
2021,
the
city
hired
mig,
to
assist
with
the
assessment
and
development
of
the
park
joining
us
tonight
are
a
few
members
of
their
team
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
work
completed
and
to
discuss
key
findings
with
mig.
We
have
jan
iceland,
who
is
mig's
primary
project
manager.
N
I'd
like
to
give
you
a
short
summary
of
what
we'll
be
discussing
this
evening.
First,
we'll
provide
you
with
a
project
overview
to
give
you
some
context
regarding
the
existing
site
conditions
and
where
we
are
in
the
park
development
process,
then
we'll
discuss
the
work
completed
to
date,
for
the
site-specific
technical
investigations
and
for
public
outreach.
N
This
slide
is
intended
to
give
you
some
idea
of
the
current
process.
We've
planned
for
the
design
and
development
of
the
park
with
mig,
we
developed
an
approach
to
achieve
a
conceptual
design
of
the
park
and
I'd
like
to
walk
you
through
the
process.
A
little
bit,
we've
divided
the
project
into
five
phases.
N
Phase
one
is
the
technical
side
assessment.
This
includes
analysis
of
the
environmental
and
regulatory
constraints
on
the
site.
This
body
of
work
helps
us
assess
what
permits
are
required
for
development
of
the
site,
what
physical
constraints
are
present
on
the
site
and
what
plant
life,
birds
bugs
and
critters?
We
need
to
consider
as
we
design
and
construct
the
site.
N
N
N
N
The
visioning
process
also
includes
this
meeting
to
obtain
your
feedback,
as
well
as
a
presentation
to
city
council
planned
for
late
july
base.
Three
includes
the
creation
of
design
alternatives
from
what
we've
learned
in
phases,
1
and
2.
The
city
has
analyzed
and
summarized
key
findings
to
allow
us
to
move
into
phase.
3.
N
mig
will
develop
three
alternative
conceptual
designs
for
the
layout
and
use
of
the
park.
These
designs
will
be
conceptual
and
will
not
include
a
lot
of
detail,
but
will
give
information
regarding
proposed
landscape
areas.
Recreational
features
park,
amenities
such
as
benches
restrooms
drinking
fountains,
as
well
as
potential
uses
for
the
park.
N
N
The
draft
master
plan
will
be
presented
to
the
public
as
well
as
this
commission
and
city
council
for
final
comments.
Once
final
comments
are
incorporated,
the
master
plan
will
be
presented
to
city
council
for
adoption
phase
five
includes
reviewing
the
environmental
impact
in
accordance
with
sequa
and
city
code.
N
The
city
and
mig
will
prepare
the
initial
study
and
require
documentation
and
submit
it
to
the
appropriate
regulatory
agencies
for
remo
review
and
approval.
We
anticipate
this
process
being
about
six
months.
After
our
preferred
concept,
design
is
approved
once
these
five
phases
are
complete.
The
city
can
begin
final
design,
development
and
plan
for
future
construction.
N
N
O
Thanks
lisa
hi
everybody
glad
to
be
here
today,
so
I
just
want
to
walk
through
the
site
a
little
bit.
If
not
everyone
on
the
call,
I'm
sure
has
been
there,
especially
to
the
newer
part,
that's
fenced
off,
so
here's
the
slide
lisa
showed
with
north
up
now.
We've
turned
sideways
just
to
fit
it
on
the
screen,
and
you
can
see
north
is
to
the
right
and
that's
where
highway
280
is
and
south
is
to
the
left.
O
So
I'll
walk
you
through
the
site
from
the
left
to
the
right
and
the
next
slide.
So
here
we
have
on
the
south
part
of
the
slide
of
the
site.
Our
site
actually
includes
the
existing
part
of
the
saratoga
creek
trail.
O
The
lower
lower
portion
has
a
sound
wall
along
it
for
a
little
while,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
graphic
and
then,
as
you
continue,
north,
the
sound
wall
ends
and
the
creek
trail
continues.
O
You
can
see
on
the
left
picture,
there's
a
very
steep
gavian
wall,
so
we'll
need
to
think
about
protection
measures
for
that
we
do
have
some
instances
like
that
on
the
south
trail
that
have
the
split
rail
fence
in
that
situation
and
then
the
middle
picture,
you
can
see
the
existing
sort
of
partial
trail.
O
It
gets
really
close
to
the
creek,
it
gets
very
narrow
and
then
there's
actually
a
little
bit
of
sound
wall
there
at
the
end,
which
you
can
see
in
the
map
graphic
and
then
it
gets
extremely
narrow
where
the
creek
gets
channelized
here
in
the
very
lower
right
picture,
and
this
gets
to
be
a
pretty
constrained
condition
where
it's
difficult
to
continue
the
trail
without
some
alterations
along
the
expressway.
There
kind
of
where
you
see
the
the
pole
in
the
street
light
right
around
here.
O
So
that's
the
the
site
that
we're
working
with,
and
you
know
it
has
some
constraints.
We
all
know
that
there
are
things
to
take
into
consideration
when
we're
developing
this
site
and
that's
why
we
developed
this
environmental
summary
which
was
attached
to
your
staff
report
and
we
studied
all
of
these
factors.
O
O
Cornerstone
earth
group
did
a
soil
assessment
of
the
site.
We
looked
at
stormwater
and
hydrology
resources
and
then
the
existing
trees
and
planting
and
future
thoughts
on
that
as
well.
So,
looking
at
all
those
factors
over
the
last
few
months,
we
came
up
with
these
opportunities
and
constraints
diagrams.
O
So
starting
with
the
constraints,
we
we
looked
at
access
and
recreation
and
we
do
have
a
very
narrow
constrained
site
because
we
have
the
creek
on
the
west
side
and
lawrence
expressway
on
the
east
side
of
the
site.
So
we
do
have
a
issue
with
creating
new
parking.
So
you
know
the
parking
we
have
now
is
kind
of
what
we're
going
to
get
for
this
site.
So
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
really
play
up
the
bike
and
pedestrian
connections
and
really
assess
what
kind
of
recreation
we
put
in
here.
O
O
O
There
are
reasons
for
us
to
stay
out
of
the
creek
bank
and
just
work
from
the
top
of
bank
inwards
to
our
site.
There's
a
lot
of
restrictions
on
that
other
areas.
So
that's
what
we
were
thinking
for
kind
of
our
edge
of
work.
We
can
still
create,
overlooks
and
adjacencies
to
the
creek,
but
not
going
down
into
it.
O
We
also
want
to
be
careful
about
what
kind
of
tree
removals
we
do.
We
do
want
to
have
some
spots
where
we
might
remove
invasive
species
or
have
you
know,
remove
a
tree
for
a
for
a
great
overlook,
but
we
don't
want
to
take
away
from
the
experience
of
the
mature
canopies
that
do
exist
and
we
do
have
a
what's.
The
word
we'll
have
to
replace
trees
that
were
removed
at
a
certain
rate,
so
we
want
to
be
very
judicious
with
the
ones
that
we
would
remove.
O
Another
consideration
that
is
also
related
to
the
creek
are
the
utilities,
so
the
city
of
cupertino
is
on
the
upper
part
of
this
slide,
the
west
side,
but
that's
across
the
creek
and
it's
hard
to
connect
to
utilities
across
the
creek.
We
don't
want
to
make
pipes
and
things
that
go
across,
so
we're
going
to
need
to
coordinate
with
the
cities
of
san
jose
to
use
work
with
their
utilities
on
the
east
side
of
the
site.
That
just
makes
more
sense
from
an
efficiency
standpoint.
O
Another
current
constraint
is
the
surfacing
in
the
whole
area
of
that
big,
open
site
right
now,
it's
impervious
it's
this
leftover
asphalt
surface
so
right
now,
that's
really
negatively
impacting
the
creek.
You
know
water
runs
off,
it's
not
treated
well
by
going
through
soil
first.
So
that's
a
that's
a
constraint
that
we
can
definitely
improve
upon
with
our
work.
O
Another
one
is
that
I
already
mentioned
was
the
steep
creek
edges,
so
we'll
need
to
take
safety
into
consideration
for
that,
and
then
the
next
group
of
items
is
the
noise.
I'm
sure
everyone
has
driven
the
lawrence
expressway
and
knows
that
it's
a
very
fast
well-traveled
street,
a
lot
of
people
are
going.
O
You
know
55
on
there
and
so
there's
significant
noise
coming
from
that,
and
also
from
some
additional
noise
coming
from
280-
and
there
are
a
couple
points
that
we
need
to
keep
where
there's
access
for
maintenance
and
emergency
vehicles
a
little
hard
to
see
on
this
map,
but
there's
one
right
about
here
and
then
there's
one
down
here-
that
we'll
want
to
keep
and
probably
reconfigure
to
to
make
sure
that
it
meets
current
standards.
O
O
We
have
some
piles
of
soil
that
are
left
over
on
the
site
from
the
staging
construction
staging
days
and
those
have
been
assessed.
There's
you
can
kind
of
see
the
contour
lines
here
and
here
and
those
have
been
assessed
and
they
do
have
some
debris
like
concrete
items
and
things
in
there
that
would
need
to
be
removed,
but
otherwise
those
are
fine
for
reuse
on
the
site.
So
we
do
have
a
little
extra
soil
to
work
with
if
we
wanted
to
say,
make
a
berm
or
push
that
around
the
site
to
make
a
feature.
O
The
other
soil
that
was
tested
is
along
the
freeway
here,
and
you
can
see
this
orange
line
with
the
little
the
little
lines,
all
parallel
so
right
along
the
expressway
cornerstone
earth
group
did
assess
that
soil
and
there
are
higher
than
typical
lead
concentrations.
There
there's
not
a
requirement
to
remove
the
soil,
but
we
do
have
numbers
of
of
what
those
are
and
that's
something
for
the
city
and
others
to
consider.
We
can
keep
it
there
if
we
want
to.
O
If
people
feel
strongly,
there
could
be
other
mitigation
measures
that
can
be
taken
for
that
soil
and
then
actually,
the
the
third
area
of
soil
is
along
the
creek
edge
itself
during
the
construction
aging
time.
A
lot
of
soil
was
pushed
up
against
the
top
of
bank,
and
this
this
is
the
same
soil
that
was
in
those
piles
within
the
middle
of
the
site
like
here.
O
So
there's
nothing
particularly
wrong
with
the
soil.
We
don't
have
to
remove
it,
but
it
is
creating
kind
of
a
visibility
barrier
to
the
creek
we'd
like
to
remove
as
much
as
possible,
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
view
into
the
creek
and
really
have
that
feeling
of
nature
connection
for
the
public
that
come
to
this
site.
O
O
So
those
are
the
constraints
it
took
a
little
while,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
and
you
can
see
in
purple.
These
are
the
big
recreation
spaces
that
we
have
to
work
with
to
provide
some
great
new
opportunities
for
the
people
on
the
east
side
of
cupertino,
and
this
is
really
the
main
space
here
on
the
right
side.
O
This
other
purple
area
feels
like
there's
a
lot
of
mature
trees
in
there,
so
these
are
kind
of
pockets
of
space
within
those
mature
trees
where
we
could
do
additional
benches
different,
different,
smaller
passive
recreation
type
amenities,
and
we
also
have
some
great
connections
to
existing
recreation,
because
sterling
barnhart
is
right
here.
So
there
are
some
natural
connections
we
could
make
in
terms
of
extending
play
and
extending
community
recreation
from
there
to
here
and
really
creating
sort
of
a
whole
corridor
of
recreation
and
play.
O
We
also
have
to
the
south
passed
off
of
this
page.
We
have
rancho
ricana
pool
so
that
kind
of
extends
the
corridor
even
more
and
then
there's
quite
a
few
schools
that
are
within
the
area
in
cupertino
to
the
west
of
the
site.
You
know:
there's
the
middle
school
high
school
and
elementary
that
are
this
direction.
O
They're
all
I
think
within
a
mile,
as
I
recall,
so
that's
a
lot
of
and
this
this
is
a
pretty
bikable
route
right
here,
the
orange
line
and
then
on
the
other
side
of
the
expressway
across
this
lighted
intersection,
there's
midi
high
school
to
archbishop
midi
high
school,
so
that
there's
a
lot
of
and
a
neighborhood.
So
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
could
come
from
that
direction
as
well,
and
then
I
kind
of
went
through
the
creek
already.
O
Those
of
us
that
have
been
there
know
that
it's
a
great
amenity,
but
a
lot
of
people
haven't
been
there
and
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
open
it
up,
visibility-wise
and
have
more
nature
education,
possibly
collaborate
with
schools
and
have
environmental
education
opportunities,
and
next
on
the
list
is
noise.
O
We
have
an
opportunity
where
we
can
do
things
to
mitigate
the
noise,
we're
not
going
to
completely
get
rid
of
the
noise,
because
the
expressway
levels
are
at
a
at
a
level
that
they
can
be
reduced,
not
completely
eliminated.
O
But
there
are
things
we
can
do
with
a
sound
wall
or
a
berm
or
both
combination
of
both
to
lower
those
noise
levels
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
soil,
like
I
said,
we
can
take
away
the
the
soil
piles
that
are
there
kind
of
obstructing
the
views
and
use
those
on
the
site,
and
we
can
also
reduce
the
impervious
surface.
That's
there
and
that'll
really
improve
the
creek
health.
O
If
we
do
that,
so
I
think
that
that'll
be
a
big
selling
point
to
the
environmental
review
bodies
that
anything
we're
doing
here
really
is
improving,
that
by
making
more
pervious
surface
which
helps
water
seep
through
and
treats
it
as
it
goes
towards
the
creek.
O
So
that
was
a
little
lengthy
but
now
you're
a
little
bit
more
familiar
with
all
the
opportunities
and
constraints
and
a
little
later,
when
we
get
to
the
discussion
section,
we
have
this
slide
of.
These
are
kind
of
the
main
topics
that
are
in
consideration
that
we'd
love
to
get
your
input
on
tonight.
The
sound
the
soils,
the
connection
to
the
north,
which
I
didn't
go
into
great
detail,
but
we
have
some
other
graphics
on
that
later
we
can
share.
O
We
really
know
that
the
community
wants
to
connect
to
the
north
and
to
stevens
creek
boulevard,
but
we
know
that
there's
some
difficulty
there
so
we'd
love
to
hear
from
the
viking
fed
commission
about
direction
to
head
in
that
department
and
then
the
fourth
bullet
point
here
is
site
access,
just
talking
about
maintenance,
emergency
vehicles
and
general
accessibility
so
we'll
get
to
this
later.
But
that's
just
kind
of
a
preview
of
those
considerations
we'd
like
to
discuss
now,
I'm
going
to
pass
it
over
to
myrna
talk
about
community
outreach.
P
Great
thank
you
chan
and
thank
you.
Everyone
for
joining
us
today,
we're
going
to
be
giving
you
a
summary
of
the
engagement
that
we
did
during
this
phase
of
the
project.
We
had
multiple
opportunities
for
cupertino
residents
to
engage
with
us
in
person
and
online
and
to
provide
their
input
on
the
park
and
trail
so
in
the
next
couple.
P
Slides
we'll
share
about
the
events
that
we
hosted
and
give
you
a
summary
of
the
survey
that
we
did
online,
where
residents
were
also
asked
to
give
their
input
and
jan
shared
a
few
key
points
as
she
was
going
over
the
site
itself.
So
we'll
get
into
some
more
details
with
that.
The
first
events
that
we
hosted
were
two
pop-up
events.
These
were
in
combination
with
other
events
that
were
already
happening
within
the
city,
including
the
bunny
run
during
easter
weekend
around
city
hall.
P
We
engaged
with
residents
and
ask
them
for
their
input
on
this
master
plan.
What
they'd
like
to
see
at
the
site?
The
second
event,
as
a
pop-up
was
during
a
saturday
soccer
event
at
creekside
park,
and
with
these
two
events
combined,
we
talked
to
about
60
cupertino
residents.
We
shared
information
about
the
project,
our
timeline
with
the
process
and
really
asked
them
for
their
thoughts
and
ideas.
What
they'd
like
to
see
in
in
this
area?
P
P
They
also
want
to
see
picnic
areas
or
flexible
lawn
space,
and
those
ideas
that
came
up
were
a
small
performing
space
for
people
to
just
enjoy
and
gather.
We
also
heard
comments
around
having
space
for
a
dog
park,
and
that
was
mentioned
a
few
times
throughout
the
engagements
next
slide.
P
P
During
the
zoo
meeting,
we
shared
again
details
about
the
site,
the
opportunities
and
constraints,
a
lot
of
what
you
have
just
heard
today
and
we
engaged
residents
using
multiple
polling
questions
throughout
the
meeting,
just
to
get
a
sense
of
what
their
ideas
were,
what
their
concerns
were
and
then
we
also
hosted
a
q
a
session
and
during
that
discussion
with
the
community.
Some
of
the
themes
that
came
up
during
the
meeting
were
residents
wanting
more
connections
to
the
stephens,
creek
boulevard
area,
safety
and
visibility,
so,
for
example,
adding
lights
to
the
trail
at
night.
P
People
were
interested
in
maintaining
the
creek
healthy
with
habitat,
restoration
and
wildlife
protection,
so
they
really
want
to
maintain
the
creek
and
be
able
to
protect
it
from
you
know,
more
people
coming
in
to
use
the
space
access
to
the
park
and
the
trail
both
from
the
south
and
northern
ends
were
another
point
of
discussion
and
also
from
the
local
neighborhood.
People
were
interested
to
know
if
there
was
going
to
be
parking
or
how
other
residents
would
be
able
to
access.
P
P
One
of
our
larger
events
that
we
hosted
during
this
engagement
phase
was
a
community
site
tour
of
the
actual
site.
We
invited
guests
and
residents
to
visit
the
site
and
engage
with
our
staff
members,
both
from
mig
our
team,
as
well
as
from
city
staff,
to
just
learn
more
about
the
site
and
really
experience
it
firsthand.
P
Many
of
the
people
that
joined
us
we
had
about
60
residents
come
by
during
the
two
hours
that
we
were
there
on
a
saturday
morning.
Many
of
them
were
familiar
with
the
trail
itself
and
use
it
on
a
regular
basis,
but
had
not
been
inside
the
park.
The
park
area
since
that
is
fenced
off
and
we're
eager
to
get
in
there
and
get
a
sense
of
what
the
space
would
be,
how
large
the
site
itself
is.
P
So
some
of
the
key
themes
that
you
see
on
here
were
again
having
access
to
the
creek
or
having
an
overlook
from
the
park
area
itself.
People
are
interested
in
connecting
with
the
creek
having
an
area
for
dogs
that
again
was
comments
that
came
up
multiple
times
and
a
lot
of
the
residents
that
we
engaged
with
during
that
day
were
walking
their
dogs
on
the
trail
itself.
P
Nature
trails
having
environmental
education
was
important
for
residents,
they'd
like
to
see
picnic,
tables,
benches
and
areas
for
play
of
all
ages
or
space
for
sports
sports
courts,
so
really
giving
options
for
residents
to
enjoy
the
park,
both
in
a
calm,
leisure
way
or
in
active
playful
activities,
and
so
we
also
hosted
a
online
survey.
This
was
online
and
open
for
residents
to
respond
to
for
about
six
to
seven
weeks
in
the
last
couple
of
months,
and
we
were
able
to
reach
563
residents
or
respondents.
P
Some
of
them
were
residents
of
the
western
side
of
san
jose,
as
well
so
about
50.
Of
those
that
responded
to
the
online
survey
said
that
they
lived
within
a
half
mile
of
the
trail,
so
they're
users,
they
know
about
it.
They
they
feel
they're
part
of
that
neighborhood
84
were
cupertino
residents
with
another
12
percent
of
them
being
from
the
western
san
jose
neighborhood
areas
and
30
of
the
residents.
That
responded
were
actually
from
the
rancho
rinconada
neighborhood,
with
another
16
or
so
percent
from
the
monta
vista
neighborhood
as
well.
P
So
we
gathered
community
input
not
only
through
multiple
choice,
questions
which
you'll
you
have
access
to
in
the
engagement
summary
report.
That
was
provided
to
you,
but
we
also
asked
residents
to
give
us
their
input
in
open-ended
questions,
and
so
in
those
responses.
Some
of
the
summary
key
points
that
came
out
was
that
the
community
would
like
to
see
the
new
park
emphasizing
bike
trails,
walking,
trails,
nature
and
play
the
amenities
should
be
family
friendly
and
connect
people
to
nature.
P
There
was
input
on
dog
access
for
a
boat
from
both
sides.
There
were
about
11
of
the
open-ended
comments
that
supported
or
were
in
favor
of
having
dog
axes
in
this
park,
with
about
two
percent
of
them
of
the
comments
saying
that
they
did
not
want
have
to
have
dog
access
in
the
park.
So
we
documented
that
through
the
report
and
you
have
access
to
the
raw
data
as
well.
P
Next
slide,
we
asked
residents
to
select
their
top
recreation
features
and
their
top
features
around
wildlife,
nature
and
education,
and
so
that's
what
you're?
Seeing
on
this
slide
again
nature
play
came
on
top
things
to
climb.
People
want
to
have
things
to
climb
in
the
space
again
for
all
ages,
not
only
for
young
children.
Fitness
equipment
is
another
option.
Like
jen
mentioned,
it
could
be
activities
throughout
the
trail
and
throughout
the
park
space
and
then
around
wildlife,
nature
and
education,
nature,
trails,
again
native
plants
to
enhance
the
wildlife
and
an
overlook
of
the
creek.
P
So
again,
these
themes
are
recurring
and
they
kept
coming
up
throughout
our
survey,
as
well
as
the
in-person
engagement
next
slide,
and
so
when
we
asked
the
residents
and
community
around
their
top
community
and
comfort
features,
the
things
that
came
on
top
were
having
shaded
areas
throughout
the
trail
and
the
park
site
itself,
walking
paths,
restrooms
and
seating,
and
so
these
are
just
things
we
want
you
to
keep
in
mind
during
our
discussion
as
well.
We'll
come
back
and
hear
your
your
thoughts
on
some
of
these
top
priorities
for
the
community.
P
We
wanted
to
find
out
more
of
who
was
responding
to
the
survey
and
how
they
were
using
the
current
trail
and
how
familiar
they
were
with
with
the
existing
space.
That's
available
about.
70
percent
of
the
respondents
said
that
they
use
the
truth
for
walking
another
35
percent,
say
they
bike
on
the
trail
about
20
percent
bike
with
their
kids
or
bring
out
their
kids
with
their
bikes
and
about
17
percent
use.
P
The
trail
for
dog
walking
from
the
respondents
about
a
third
of
the
participants
said
that
they
used
the
trail
a
few
times
a
year
and
12
percent
said
that
they
use
it
most
days
with
the
remaining
responses
being
evenly
split
between
once
a
week
once
a
month
or
never.
So,
there's
a
wide
range
of
users
on
the
trail,
and
we
also
asked
them
what
would
make
them.
P
What
would
that
make
them?
Use
the
trail
more
or
features
that
they'd
like
to
add
to
the
trail
and
you're,
seeing
those
on
the
slide
so
having
a
destination
that
the
trail
ends
at
the
parkside
or
having
a
park.
Experience,
attractive,
nature
area,
quiet,
buff
or
having
buffer
from
the
road
was
important
and
shade
as
well
and
then
again,
some
new
things
that
people
would
like
to
see
is
having
a
creek
overlook,
separated,
natured
nature
or
soft
trails
and
having
restroom
amenities
on
site.
P
Extension
of
the
bike
trail
along
with
separated
walking
trails
for
soft
trails.
Nature
play
was
important
connecting
to
nature
having
native
plants,
habitat
restoration
or
enhancement
reduction
of
the
on-site
noise
level
at
every
point,
not
only
along
the
trail,
but
even
within
the
larger
space
of
the
park,
keeping
in
mind
safety
for
users
throughout
the
park
and
trail
and
at
different
times
of
the
day,
and
then
the
amenities
for
comfort,
so
benches
picnic
tables
and
restrooms
the
the
topic
around
park
around
dogs
and
do
they
have
access
to
the
park
or
not.
P
That's
something
that
we'd
want
to
hear
your
feedback
on
as
well
and
completing
the
bike
trail
to
the
north
and,
as
jan
mentioned,
that's
something
that
might
be
in
future
plans
outside
of
our
project
scope.
That
is
something
that
the
community
had
questions
about
and
were
eager
to
know
what
what
the
plans
would
be
for
that.
P
O
Thanks
smyrna,
so
now
we
just
want
to
briefly
let
you
know
what's
coming
down
the
road,
what
what
our
next
steps
are.
After
this,
as
lisa
mentioned,
we
have
this
these
project
phases
and
right
now
we're
kind
of
in
between
two
and
three
so
we're
getting
close
to
creating
the
design
alternatives.
O
O
So
I
think
that's
it
for
us
and
we're
ready
to
go
to
the
discussion
portion.
We
do
have
a
few
other
slides.
We
can
bring
up
if
questions
come
up,
but
I'm
going
to
pause
on
the
slide
that
we
had
made
for
the
discussion
items.
We
thought
were
most
important
to
hear
from
you
on.
So
on
the
left
side,
we
have
the
analysis,
topics,
sort
of
the
constraints
that
we're
working
with
and
how
to
mitigate
those
and
then
on
the
right
side.
We
have
the
community
input
themes
that
we
are
thinking.
O
Most
of
these.
All
of
these
items
would
need
to
go
in
all
of
the
three
alternatives
and
then
we
can
make
those
alternative
differentiated
in
terms
of
emphasis
on
different
items.
In
addition
to
this,
but
this
is
what
we
heard
from
the
community
that
really
needs
to
be
folded
into
all
of
the
all
of
the
concepts.
A
N
Think
we
just,
I
think
the
chair
takes
it
over
from
here
correct.
A
So
the
next
step
is
a
clarification
questions.
Is
that
right,
okay
and
thank
you
for
the
nice
presentations
very
informative
with
a
lot
of
details,
and
now
it's
time
for
commissioners
asking
the
clarification
questions.
So
if
you
have
any
question
commissioners,
please
raise
your
hand
and
your
name
will
be
called
one
by
one
and
first,
the
eric
in
the
squad.
Q
Yes,
hi
hi,
everybody,
I'm
eric
linscombe
on
the
bikepad
commission,
and
I
guess
I
I
think
I
would
be
interested
in
seeing
your
material.
You
know
for
the
north
connection,
it
does
seem.
Rather,
it
seems
obvious
one
should
make
an
oil
connection,
even
though
it
may
not
be
entirely
trivial.
Q
O
O
So
that's
what
we
are.
O
Sorry,
sorry
about
that,
so
here's
the
here's,
the
parking,
rack
master
plan
bike
bike
connectivity
map,
so
this
yellow
square
is
enlarged
right
here.
So
here
on
the
right
side,
you
can
see
the
desired
link
that
goes
from
this.
Existing
solid
line
stops
here
just
past
sterling
barnhart
and
we
would
want
it
to
continue
through
our
site
and
then
cross
calvert
drive
and
up
towards
stevens
creek
boulevard,
and
then
that's
an
existing
bike
lane,
as
I'm
sure
you're
aware
on
stevens
creek.
O
So
that
would
make
a
more
of
a
loop
for
people
to
continue
along
what
we've
talked
about
is
as
much
as
we
want
to
make
this
connection.
We
do
need
a
little
help
getting
there
because
that's
out
of
our
out
of
our
scope
and
jurisdiction,
and
if
we
can
make
that
connection
in
the
short
term,
then
we'll
include
the
trail
up
to
that
point
of
our
terminus
of
our
site.
O
If
we
can't
we'll
at
least
make
a
make
sure
that
the
design
incorporates
a
way
to
in
the
future,
make
that
connection,
we
won't
put
any
obstructions
in
the
way
and
we
would
make
a
sort
of
like
an
interim
solution
so
that
we
could
go
there
in
the
future.
N
Just
to
add
to
jan's
language
there
you
know
we're
we're
trying
to
stay
within
the
confines
of
the
the
proper,
the
property
itself
because
of
the
jurisdictional
and
and
time
constraints,
because
I
know
that
there's
a
great
desire
to
get
things
done
sooner
than
later.
With
this
pacific
park,
we
aren't
necessarily
incorporating
expansion
of
bike
access
from
the
north,
essentially
because
we're
dealing
with
county
as
well
as
state
related
issues.
O
And
this
this
is
kind
of
shows
how
tight
that
is
right
there
and
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
create
a
dead
end
that
ends
here.
O
There
is
a
crosswalk
where
you
can
go
down
along.
It
actually
doesn't
go
along
the
expressway.
It
kind
of
goes
behind
the
sound
wall
into
this
neighborhood
on
this
side
and
then
on
this
side
on
the
left
is
a
sidewalk.
It's
not
really
a
bike
lane
size.
I
think
it's
more
like
six
feet
and
there's
some
telephone
poles
and
things.
So
it's
not
really
bike
ready,
but
it
is
a
connection
from
here
up
to
stevens
creek
boulevard
that
is
pedestrian,
safe.
S
Because
my
question
is
also
related
to
the
north
state
connection
for
the
price
cycle
and
pedestrian
fire.
I
think
you
answered
most
of
the
questions
of
the
ques.
You
know
I
have
some
additional
clarifications:
the
students
click
boulevard,
access
to
student
speak
boulevard
seems
to
be
really.
S
S
S
You
know
following
the
creek
to
stevens
creek
boulevard.
Instead,
can
we
take
a
diversion
on
the
calor
drive
to
steven
street
below?
What
would
that
be
more?
You
know
easier
to
do
that.
That
way,
we
can
avoid
the
access
to
280
or
I'm
not
sure
whether
it's
possible
there.
N
Right,
that's
something
that
we
we've
looked
at
a
little
bit.
We
you
know
with
this
again
we
get
into
the
jurisdictional
issues
associated
with
it.
So
while
it
may
be
a
future
possibility,
it's
not
something
we're
not
looking
at
anything
strictly
outside
of
the
existing
site.
S
And
also
is
there
any
possibility
for
acquiring
any
private
property
that
gives
access
to
johnson,
or
you
know
sterling.
S
N
R
You,
sir,
a
couple
of
quick
questions,
one,
I
think
it's
kind
of
relying
on
commissioner's
question,
so
there
is
no
access
directly
to
this.
I
know
I
heard
that
parking
all
of
them.
What
is
the?
R
N
R
Okay
and
thank
you
and
my
second
question
is
related
to
that.
Do
we
have
any
other
reference
part,
because
I
know
when
we
ask
the
car,
the
citizens
or
residents
about
what
are
the
amenities
you
want?
R
They
may
not
be
aware
of
these
constraints
or
do
they
are
they
aware
that
they
cannot,
for
example,
basketball
any
of
them
when
they
come
for
a
week
they
need
to
carry
equipment,
they
need
to
carry
all
of
them.
He
said
if
there
is
no
access
and
no
car,
or
they
know
that
do
they
know
that
these
are
the
constraints
they
operate
under
before
they
provide
a
wish
list.
Did
we
give
them
those
details.
N
So,
depending
on
the
the
forum
we
were
using,
there
was
a
big
focus
on
informing
the
public
regarding
the
site
constraints,
because
the
site
constraints
are
significant
and
multiple,
and
in
the
on
the
engage
cupertino
site,
it
discusses
some
of
those
constraints,
but
also
in
the
pop-up
meetings,
the
site
tour.
N
R
Right
and
last
question:
do
we
have
any
other
parts
which
we
can
refer
to
similarly,
either
within
the
cpe
limits
or
based
on
your
experience
in
mig
experience?
Is
there
any
other
reference
points?
We
have
to
take
a
look
at
it
specifically
what
kind
of
amenities
it
can
hold.
I
know
we
cannot
go
extreme
because
of
the
access
restrictions
and
the
people
cannot
bring
a
lot
more
things
and
to
carry
forward.
Is
that
any
other
reference
parts
do
we
have.
N
Yeah,
I
am
not
aware
of
any
other
in
the
in
the
cupertino
area.
It's
a
pretty
unique
circumstance
really.
R
A
Oh
and
thank
you
for
the
answer,
and
the
next
is
commissioner
jack
carter,.
T
The
clarification
I'm
looking
for
is
after
the
crossing
the
midi
way.
Is
there
no
other
outlet
going
north?
T
T
Okay,
so
I'm
assuming
that
there's
going
to
be
some
sort
of
signage
for
bicyclists,
letting
them
know
that
it
does
not
go
through
at
this
time.
T
Okay
and
a
comment
from
the
last
person,
if
you
look
at
mcclellan
ranch,
the
path
that
goes
from
the
beginning,
mcclellan
ranch
over
to
blackberry
farm
is
a
miniature
version
of
this,
without
a
without
an
expressway
of
course,
but
it
gives
you
that
riparian
part
it
gives
you
deeper
areas
and
narrower
areas
anyway.
Thank
you.
A
And
thank
you
so
the
next
one
will
be
yeah
sashi,
bigor.
F
I
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
want
to
understand.
Just
looking
at
the
surveys,
it
looks
I
mean
just
looking
at
the
information.
The
community
events
had
what
is
it
about
60
people,
the
virtual
event
had
15,
but
as
the
online
survey
you
got
a
lot
of
people,
which
is
very
nice.
My
question
really
was:
what
were
the
various
methods
that
were
used
for
advertising
either
the
community
meetings,
virtual
community
meeting
or
the
live
meetings,
or
were
they
all
just
whatever
happened
on,
engage
cupertino.
N
Right
so
we
had
the
engage
cupertino
set
up
with
all
the
information.
We
also
sent
out
a
a
mailer
postcard
to
folks
informing
them
of
the
the
four
four
events
that
had
been
occurring
as
well
as
the
survey.
N
Obviously,
on
the
engage
cupertino
site,
we
had
access
to
the
survey
and
then
at
each
at
the
community
meeting.
We
would
announce
the
next
set
of
meetings
or
pop-up
events,
so
that
was
the
process
we
used.
J
Now
sorry,
commissioner
gore,
if
I
might
just
add
to
that
there
was
social
media
posts
as
well
as
it
was
in
the
items
of
interest.
There
was,
you
know,
different
different
avenues
used
for
outreach.
So
if
you
want
further
information
on
that,
I
can
definitely
get
that,
for
you
sure.
F
Excellent,
so
we've
tried
everything
we
got
what
we
got:
okay,
follow-up
with
regard
to
the
you
know:
there's
no
road
barrier
and
a
certain
I'm
just
looking
literally
at
the
side,
the
the
understanding
the
site
slide.
That's
up
here
now.
If
we
do
put
a
road
barrier,
what
how
will
the
emergency
vehicles
come
in
and
out
will
we?
Where
will
the
emergency
vehicles
come
in
and
out?
At
this
point,.
N
N
It's
just
at
the
it's
on
the
far
northern
side
about
where,
where
the
you
see
it
on
the
lower
graphic
there
about
where
the
red
on
the
far
right,
where
the
red
ends
on
the
left-hand
side,
there
is
a
driveway
there
essentially
currently.
O
F
Okay,
that's
good
with
regard
to
dog
access
where
people
actually
looking
for
a
dog
off
leash
area
would
be
just
asking
to
be
able
to
bring
their
dogs
on
the
trail.
O
It
was
a
mix,
a
lot
of
people
did
want
a
dog
off
leash
area,
some
people.
I
think
I
think
very
few
people
wanted
dogs
off
leash
everywhere,
but
some
people
were
proponents
of
having
a
specific
dog
off
leash
area
and
I
think
right
now
the
existing
trail
is
leash
only
and
so
I'm
sure
at
a
minimum.
They
would
expect
it
to
be
leash
dogs,
okay,.
F
Okay
and
then
my
last
question
is
there
was
on
your
constraint,
slide
you
you'd
pre.
You
had
provided
that
the
utility
coordination
with
san
jose
was
considered
a
constraint.
Is
it
just
a
strain,
is
it
really
a
constraint,
or
is
it
just
something
we
need
to
work
with
in
a
specific
time
frame?
Is
it
a
constraint
from
a
time
frame
perspective
or
how
does
it
become
a
constraint?
It's
just
work
with
san
jose
institutino.
O
A
Thank
you.
So
next
is
back
and
back
commissioner
eric
in
the
stock
again.
Q
Yeah,
thank
you
so
just
to
follow
up
on
my
questions
regarding
the
the
north
connection.
So
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
cupertino
high
school
attendance,
boundary
you'll
find
that
there's
a
large
you
know
portion
of
it.
That's
on
the
north
and
the
east
side
of
the
kind
of
you
know
the
intersection
of
the
280
and
lawrence
at
christmas.
Q
Q
Q
Caliber
drive,
circus
crossing.
There
is
already
a
signal,
so
I
think
you
it
wouldn't
be
too
difficult,
and
then
it
looks
to
me
so
when
I
I
took
part
in
the
community
cleanup
of
the
park
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
I
was
able
to
walk
all
the
way
up
to
calvert
drive
over
as
far
as
the
axis
goes
through
anyway,
and
yes,
it
does
get
narrow.
It's
like
a
choke
point
at
some
point.
Where
there's
a
you
know,
some
utility
installed
along
lawrence
expressway.
Q
And
then
it
looked
to
me
that
you
can
just
continue
under
280
up
to
steven's
creek,
although
I
wasn't
able
to
walk
that.
So
I'm
not
entirely
sure,
but
if
one
can
do
that,
somehow
you
would
most
likely
be
able
to
provide
a
walking
biking
path,
for
you
know
a
large
number
of
students,
and
I
would
think
this
is
the
type
of
project
that
you
know.
For
example,
you
get
funding
via
some
external
organization
may
be
overseen
by
the
bta,
so
that
could
maybe
bring
down
the
cost
of
the
project
significantly.
N
Thank
you
thank
you
for
the
comments
and
I
agree
having
that
access
from
the
north
is
an
important
element,
sort
of
creating
good
circulation
through
the
park.
But
I
also
believe
that
that
that
project
is
sort
of,
above
and
beyond
the
scope
of
what
we're
looking
at
currently,
and
it's
certainly
something
I
think
the
city
should
explore
in
the
future,
as
as
connectivity
for
for
biking
in
for
pedestrian.
J
A
Okay,
the
next
commissioner
gerhard
as
your
back.
I
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
sharing
this
with
us
tonight.
Obviously,
a
lot
of
things
have
been
said
already.
I
fully
support
the
lower
connectivity,
of
course
as
well.
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
have
it,
but
my
question
was
two
questions.
One
is
I've
been
on
side
and
saw
it
aside?
I
I
feel
that
the
sterling
barnard
bridge
is
very
narrow
for
the
kind
of
traffic
we
are
hoping
to
get
there
if,
if
there
is
especially
if
there
is
no
north
connectivity
as
well
so
wondering
if
there
is
any
possibility
to
widen
that
bridge,
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
easier
to
to
pass
and
then
second
question
is,
I
also
saw
all
those
big
burns
of
or
piles
of
dirt,
and
I
was
wondering
I
couldn't
see
it
clearly
from
the
presentation
today,
nor
from
the
materials
that
were
attached.
I
If
there's
a
plan
to
remove
that
which
I
think
I
certainly
would
hope
that
is
the
case,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
if
that
is
in
fact
the
case
that
those
piles
of
dirt
will
be
will
be
eliminated.
I
O
Definitely
the
ones
in
the
middle
with
no
trees
are
definitely
removed
and
then
see
these
the
berm
in
the
back.
Some
places
where
there's
major
mature
trees
with
tree
roots
might
need
to
stay
in
portions,
but
a
lot
of
it.
That's
not
with
mature
tree
roots
could
be
removed.
So
it's
sort
of
a
case-by-case
basis
on
this
firm
next
to
the
creek
right
here
where
my
cursor
is,
but
the
big
soil
piles
for
sure
can
be
removed.
N
N
I
I
G
Hi,
thank
you
mina,
so
I
wanted
to
ask
actually
answer
one
of
the
questions
when
I
was
on
the
city
council
and
we
voted
to
spend
the
money
to
acquire
this
land.
G
We
definitely
did
say
that
we
wanted
to
consider
spending
some
of
our
park
funding
to
purchase
properties
along
sterling
as
they
came
up
for
sale
and
perhaps
construct
pedestrian
bridges
into
the
park
to
have
another
access
point.
I've
noticed
several
houses
have
been
sold
there
in
the
past,
not
too
distant
past,
and
you
know
nothing
was
done
there.
We
and
there
is
precedent
for
this.
We
did
buy
a
house
over
in
monte
vista
by
the
entrance
to
blackberry
farm
and
that
was
done
to
improve
pedestrian
and
bicycle
access
into
blackberry
farm.
G
So
the
money
is
there
if
we
choose
to
spend
it
like
that
and
and
that
would
give
another
access
point
into
the
park,
the
other
issue
about
the
north
access-
I
don't
know
if
I
am,
I
able
to
share
my
screen
here
or
not-
who,
who
gives
me
permission
to
do
a
screen
share?
G
Let's
see,
maybe
I
oh
here
we
go.
So
if
you
look
to
the
right
in
john
mice
park
across
from
across
lawrence
expressway
vta
does
have
a.
L
G
Park
which
is
which
is
across
lawrence
expressway
vta,
does
have
plans
for
a
bike
pet.
J
A
Okay,
so
yeah
next
is
commissioner
wong.
You
can
ask.
U
Me
thanks
a
lot
yeah.
I
wanted
to
compliment
everybody
here
for
a
pretty
good
job
in
terms
of
getting
community
input,
as
well
as
the
process
here,
and
I
thought
that
was
pretty
good
here.
Some
things
we
can
learn
in
some
of
our
other
commissions,
but
I
really
wanted
to
also
agree
with
chair
scharf
it'd
be
nice
to
have
some
kind
of
access
point.
I
think
he's
trying
to
talk
about
the
vta
access
point.
Hopefully
we
can
get
back
in
to
talk
about
that
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
add
just
some
safety
concerns.
U
I'm
not
sure,
what's
going
to
be
done
to
patrol
that
area,
given
the
high
amount
of
homelessness
homeless,
encampments
that
are
there,
and
I
think
that's
just
the
concern.
I
know
you
guys
are
kind
of
looking
at
it
in
the
periphery,
but
that's
something
that
might
need
some
funding
or
something
at
least
to
keep
that
area
safe
for
for
some
of
the
folks
that
are
there
and
then
I
don't
know
what
the
hours
are
for.
That
area
is
going
to
be
in
terms
of
the
park.
If
you
have
park
hours
that
have
been
determined
so.
N
I
don't
believe
any
park
hours
have
been
determined
and
we
agree.
You
know,
site
safety
is
going
to
be
elemental
to
a
successful
project
and
a
successful
park.
N
One
of
my
primary
concerns
is
is
that
northern
access
point
we
don't
want
to
pinch
people
into
a
very
narrow
space
where
they
feel
unsafe
and
then
come
across
a
dead
end,
and
so
we
definitely
you
know
we'll
take
that
into
consideration
as
as
well
as
sort
of
the
berms
that
are
on
site
being
able
to
clear
out
what
we're
able
to
what
permitting
allows
us
to
do
so.
You
have
visibility
as
much
as
possible
into
the
site
as
well
as
clearing
brush
in
and
around
the
creek.
U
Yeah,
thank
you
that
northern
point
at
stevens,
cr
at
calvert
and
lawrence
is
very
dangerous.
You
might
not
even
have
a
northern
access
point
that
far
up.
It
might
just
be
something
someone
accesses
from
somewhere
else,
but
but
yeah
the
the
safety
piece
is
a
piece
that
I
keep
hearing
from
folks.
So
thank.
G
Sorry
my
team
crashed-
all
I
was
pointing
out
was
that
vta
does
have
plans
for
an
over
crossing
to
the
north
of
280
and
specifically
to
help
cupertino
high
school
students
who
live
over
there
get
to
school.
G
So
if
we
could
build
a
protected
bike
lane
along
midi
over
to
the
park,
if
that
overcrossing
ever
gets
built,
that's
been
planned
for
decades.
That
would
that
would
be
a
northern
access
point
as
well
that
this
kind
of
brings
you
into
a
better
place
than
stevens
creek
and
calvert.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you.
S
C
S
Yes,
okay,
so
so
this
is
on
the
there
is
a
crossing
right
now
across
lawrence
expressway
to
mitigate.
I
think
you
know,
commissioner
scharf
touched
upon
that
point,
and
so
I
would
like
to
know
you
know
if
you
have
a
plans
or
for
a
bicycle
and
pedestrian
path,
going
all
the
way
up
to
mood
park.
S
So
so
that
way,
you
know
our
students
coming
from
the
east
side
of
you
know
of
lawrence
can
crawl
instead
of
following
and
then
using
the
bollinger
road
right.
They
could,
you
know,
use
the
midi
way
and
then
come
all
the
way
and
cross
the
park
to
the
bonn
heart
you
know
and
and
then
go
to
kupatana
high
school.
So
that's
one
possibilities.
Maybe
you
might
wanted
to
touch
upon
what
plants
are
being
made
for
providing
an
access
point
there
that
still
doesn't
solve
the
north
access
point
problem.
N
So
other
than
ensuring
that
that
crossware
continues
to
to
function
as
as
a
passageway
into
the
park,
we
haven't
given
consideration
to
anything
from
lawrence
expressway
to
the
east.
That's
actually
still
san
jose
property,
I'm
not
familiar
specifically
with
the
site
area
you're
speaking
to,
but
again
we
are
the
one
thing
that
occurs
to
me
in
relation
to
that
crossing
at
midi
way
along
at
lawrence.
N
Expressway
is
just
to
investigate
whether
we
can
get
whether
it's
the
county
or
department
of
transportation,
to
help
us
control
that
that
light
signal
a
little
bit
more,
so
that
folks
don't
have
to
wait
an
extended
period
of
time
to
cross
lawrence
the
lawrence
expressway
to
get
to
or
from
the
park.
I
think
that
would
be
beneficial
and
and
beyond
that
we
haven't
investigated
anything
outside
of
the
property.
A
Okay-
and
I
have
two
clarification
questions
so
one
is
the
other
commissioner
already
asked
about
the
parking.
So
what
I
heard
is
on
our
survey
and
it's
not
mentioned
there
won't
be
parking
when
the
park
is
built,
but
in
the
community
meeting
it's
mentioned,
so
the
community
members
should
learn
from
the
community
outreach
work.
A
But
from
my
what
I
heard
some
community
members,
they
did.
They
thought
maybe
after
the
city
built
the
park,
maybe
they
can
find
some
place
figure
out
to
get
some
parking
place
so
and
it
seems
some
of
them
still
have
some
such
hope.
So
if
there
won't
be
any
parking,
is
it
possible
to
put
the
information
on
some
place?
Maybe
I'll
see
the
website
of
lawrence
midi
park
make
it
more
obvious.
A
So
we
just
inform
community
members
about
it
and
because
I
remember
maybe
one
or
two
years
ago,
in
a
park
commission
meeting
some
communication
members,
they
they
still
think
the
entrance.
The
parking
interest
is
on
lawrence
and
they
said
because
the
traffic
is
so
fast
how
to
get
in
the
parking,
but
it
turned
out
they
misunderstood
the
situation.
N
Yes,
absolutely
and
I
I
do
know
we
mentioned
the
site
constraints
for
access,
but
it's
sort
of
intermixed
with
other
site
constraints
on
the
engage
cupertino
site.
So
it's
certainly
we
something
we
can
alter
on
the
engage
cupertino
website
to
make
it
explicit.
The
parking
won't
be
possible
on
the
site.
O
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
my
second
question
is
about
the
lighting
on
the
trail,
so
you
in
the
past,
some
community
members
complained
the
there's
no
lighting
by
the
trail.
So
at
night
only
the
barnhart
park
has
lighting,
but
if
they
riding
back
from
the
park
to
their
community
along
the
trail
that
that's
completely
dark.
But
at
that
time
they
were
told
that
the
maintenance
work
is
by
county.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
now
and
our
city
can
put
some
light
in
there.
It's
not
by
county
anymore.
N
Right-
and
this
is
something
I
think,
there's
a
little
bit
of
tension
around
as
far
as
community
involvement
goes
because
some
people
would
like
to
see
lighting
on
the
trail
and
other
people
believe,
because
it's
sort
of
they
want
to
maintain
that
sort
of
wildlife
corridor
aspects
because
of
its
proximity
to
the
creek.
N
It
is
something
we'll
probably
seriously
look
at
one
way
or
the
other,
and
that
may
be
something
that
we
need
to
get
your
input
during
during
this
time
on
and
what
what
your
thoughts
are.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
looks
like
nobody
else
raised
your
hand.
Okay,
we
finished
the
clarification
question
session
and
the
next
part
is
yeah
community
inputs.
So
community
members,
if
you
have
any
question
on
this
agenda
item,
then
please
raise
your
hand
and
you
have
three
minutes
to
talk.
I
see
the
first
one
raised:
hands,
jenny.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
hi.
This
is
jennifer
griffin
and
you
guys
have
done
an
amazing
job
with
this
presentation,
and
I've
been
very,
very
impressed
with
all
of
the
outreach
to
the
public
and
about
I
actually
went
on
site
when
they
had
the
tour
of
the
area,
and
it
was
just
mind-boggling.
There
are
some
totally
amazing
trees
in
that
creek.
I
mean
we're
looking
at
oaks
that
are
two
to
three
hundred
years
old.
They
are
virtually
untouched.
C
For
the
park
depleted
east
side
of
cupertino,
I
kind
of
look
at
this
as
a
riparian,
a
passive
corridor
for
people
to
enjoy
the
area,
the
creek,
the
nature
of
lots
of
benches.
Of
course
we
have
it.
This
is
the
fifth
fifth
section,
the
reach
of
the
bike
at
saratoga
creek
trail.
C
I
think
this
is
the
fifth
reach
or
sixth
reach
that
I
that
turn's
been
going
around
for
10
years
and
also
you
have
a
great
wonderful
potential
to
have
like
maybe
areas
where
you
could
have
like
places
where
people
could
do
gym
type
things.
You
know
you
could
exercise,
etc.
So
I'm
I'm
gonna
say
right
now.
If
people
weren't
aware
we
have
coyotes
in
that
area,
we
have
coyotes
and
rancho
rinconada.
C
We've
lost
a
lot
of
cats,
small
dogs-
I
don't
want
to
scare
anyone,
but
I
I
think
it's
good
to
remember
that.
If
people
you
know
people
can
bring
dogs
in
there.
You
know
dogs
all
over
the
area.
I
just
think
it's
better
that
dogs
stay
on
leash,
because
you
will
have
coyotes
going
and
taking
small
dogs
that
are
not
with
their
owners.
I
hate
to
say
that
that
has
happened
at
rancho
san
antonio
etc,
but
I
I
think
that
the
whole
area
has
a
tremendous
potential
to
be
a
wonderful
pastoral
site.
C
I'm
just
gonna
say
anything
that
you
put
up
as
a
sound
wall
along
lawrence
will
have
graffiti
go
on
it.
So
keep
that
in
mind
the
safety
issue
back
in
there.
You
want
to
make
sure
that
people
feel
safe
not
from
being
hit
by
a
car
in
lawrence.
Just
things
happen
in
that
area.
There's
a
lot
of
firecrackers
fires
have
started
back
there,
and
I
mean
I've
lived
down
there
since
1985
and
there's
all
sorts
of
stuff
so
probably
need
to
have
some
sort
of
a
patrol
down
there.
C
But
I'm
just
so
excited
about
this.
If
people
weren't
aware
this
was
owned
by
the
graves
family
since
1865
and
there
it
was
cattle
ranch
and
their
family
home
is
at
mitzi
and
saratoga
avenue
we're
trying
to
save
that
with
a
pack
of
preservation,
action
group
incentive
seconds
anyway.
Thank
you
so
much
you
guys
are
doing
a
fantastic
job
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
tremendous
asset
to
the
area.
Thank
you.
A
K
Oh
good
evening,
chair,
thank
you
for
this
time.
My
name
is
connie
cunningham,
I'm
a
34-year
resident
of
cupertino,
I'm
also
an
ottawa
member
and
an
advocate
for
birds,
wildlife
and
native
plants.
I
want
to
also
thank
you
for
this
excellent
report
and
presentation
about
the
new
lawrence
mini
park.
Also
your
thoughtful
and
knowledgeable
responses
to
questions.
K
This
is
an
exciting
topic.
A
new
park
in
cupertino
I
have
walked
the
length
of
the
planned
park
from
bollinger
road
to
lawrence
and
midi
at
the
pedestrian
crossing.
My
friends
who
live
near
this
park
are
also
excited
about
walking
this
trail.
I
noted
the
yellow
warbler
discussed
in
the
report
since
I'm
a
bird
lover,
I'm
particularly
interested
to
read
about
bird
life.
K
There,
the
several
plans,
the
referenced
in
the
written
report,
the
general
plan,
the
biped
plan,
the
parks
and
rec
plan,
and
the
cap
plan
all
speak
to
balancing
the
needs
of
nature
and
the
needs
of
the
community.
It
was
really
heartening
to
read
about
the
community
input
supporting
local
wildlife,
habitat
and
use
of
parks
that
promote
education
about
nature
and
play
that
allows
time
for
interaction
with
nature.
K
One
addition
to
your
report
about
the
cap
plan
is
the
new
cap.
Two
old
plan
that
is
coming
in
is
that
the
addition
of
the
tree
academy
canopy,
excuse
me
in
this
whole
city
as
an
important
climate
change
strategy.
This
particular
park
is
large
enough
to
accommodate
many
california
native
trees,
plants
and
grasses.
It
already
has
several
of
these
trees,
so
any
of
those
new
type
of
plants
will
support
the
existing
natural
growth.
So
I
hardly
endorse
that.
K
K
I
urge
the
planters
to
take
more
soil
samples
throughout
the
area
rather
than
just
the
portions
of
the
park
along
the
street.
This
was
a
construction
yard.
Where
many
things
have
been
discarded
over
the
years,
it
will
be
important
to
ensure
that
toxic
waste
or
lead
is
not
in
that
soil,
nor
in
the
berms
nor
the
piles
of
debris
nor
in
the
soil
beneath
the
impervious
surface
of
the
previously
developed
area-
and
I
think
you
do
definitely
need
to
eliminate
artificial
lighting,
artificial
lighting
disturbs
the
natural
biological
rhythms
of
birds,
insects,
animals
and
plants.
K
K
Okay,
this
park
is
a
half
a
mile
in
length,
since
it's
planned
to
be
a
connector.
It's
important
to
note
that,
besides
the
design,
elements
and
signage
to
slow
bicycles
that
are
going
through,
that
area,
10
seconds
left,
okay,
so
bulb
outs
for
people
to
approach
the
creek,
but
keep
some
locations
not
admissible
by
people
too
much
compacted
earth
and
foot
traffic
disturbs
national
ability
of
trees.
Okay,
that's
about
it!
I
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
to
listen
to
me
about
this
exciting
new
park,
and
I
wish
you
all
the
very
best.
A
V
Hello,
thank
you.
Betsy
magus,
I
am
a
santa
clara
resident
and
I
do
serve
on
the
vta
bicycle
and
pedestrian
committee
with
eric
glad
to
see
this
project
expressways
and
freeways
are
barriers
to
walking
and
biking.
V
I
am
looking
forward
to
access
to
the
north.
For
that
reason,
and
also
because
if
I
use
this
trail,
I
will
be
coming
from
the
north.
I
suggest
that
access
is
also
a
safety
feature
just
in
terms
of
not
isolating
this
park
as
much
as
it
already
is.
One
of
the
commissioners
earlier,
I
think,
asked
about
equivalent
parks.
It's
not
quite
the
same
situation,
but
an
example
of
a
park
kind
of
tucked
in
between
a
creek
and
a
trail,
and
an
expressway
is
eddie
souza
park
in
santa
clara
at
santa
moss
and
monroe.
V
With
respect
to
what
the
previous
speaker
was
saying,
I
suggest
that
that's
also
a
good
example
at
east
caesar
park
that
you
look
at
doing
a
soft
separation
between
the
trail
and
the
park
uses.
That's
could
be
a
little
bit
of
a
grade
where
the
trail
is
above
or
below
the
park.
V
It
could
be
sort
of
a
you
know,
waist
higher
lower
rail
fence
or
some
shrubbery
stuff
stuff,
like
that
visibility
is
good,
but
have
a
little
bit
of
division
between
it,
so
that
you
know
that
the
interaction
between
the
trail
and
the
park
uses
is
sort
of
concentrated
at
predictable
spots.
Where
you
can
see,
if
there
might
be
a
little
kid
you
know
running
across
the
trail,
is
the
you
know:
bicycle
through
traffic
doesn't
always
mix
terribly
well.
V
With
that
the
other
place,
I
would
suggest-
and
I
know
that
this
may
be
a
future
thing,
but
attention
to
visibility
at
if
there
is
a
north
entrance
near
the
intersection
at
calvert.
V
Some
of
the
saratoga
creek
trail
intersections
you
kind
of
pop
out
of
the
sound
wall
and
you're
practically
on
the
expressway
and
a
little
bit
of
a
to
back
that
off
just
a
little
bit
and
have
you
know,
maybe
40
feet
of
of
no
no
sound
wall
or
something
lower
where
you
can
see
what
you're
getting
into
when
you
go
through
that
when
you
go
through
that
opening.
V
V
And
I
was
wondering
if
there
will
be
access
to
recycled
water
for
irrigation
on
this
site,
and
I
believe
that
is
it.
Thank
you,
oh
wayfinding,
wayfinding
for
midi
and
connecting
routes.
Sorry.
M
The
unmute
was
a
little
slow
okay,
so
some
of
you
have
heard
me
say
this
before,
but
I
think
it's
super.
Oh.
M
Okay,
amanda,
you
admitted
me:
I
I
believe
that
a
name
change
for
this
facility
is
imperative
and
should
happen
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
I
believe
strongly
that
once
the
name
is
changed
from
sounding
very
institutional
and
very
freeway,
slash
san
jose
and
not
cupertino,
you
will
get
better
feedback
from
people
and,
if
you
were
to
now
in
the
summer
months,
when
peop
more
people
are
doing
activities
at
the
rancho
pool,
it's
a
great
place
to
post
information.
M
But
if
you
say
something
about
you
know
a
new
park
in
rancho
or
in
rancho
rinkanata,
those
people
are
more
likely
and
they
come
from
everywhere
are
more
likely
to
pay
attention
other
than
lawrence
mitty,
because
lawrence
is
a
as
we
know.
Expressway
midi
is
a
san
jose
street.
If
the
name
does
not
make
sense,
it's
not
so
anyway.
I've
already
chimed
in
about
that
other
places,
but
please
do
that
soon,
so
we
can
start
referring
it
to
it,
and
people
need
to
know
that
that
calvert
is
actually
a
one-way,
extended
freeway
entrance.
M
It's
not
just
a
neighborhood
street
or
a
busy
neighborhood
street.
It
is
one
way
which
further
complicates
these
problems,
that
staff
and
and
consultants
are
trying
to
convey.
It
is
very
tricky,
even
if
you
get
there
and
then
you
can't
basically
cross
that
then
you're
stuck
on
lawrence
and
can't
get
across
to
the
freeway
to
80
exit
that
you
need
to
get
off
of
on
to
get
to
stephens
creek.
M
And
if
commissioner
scharf's
idea
is
helpful,
I
think
those
questions
start
need
to
be
asked
that
the
people
are
considering
a
different
cross,
because
I'm
pretty
sure
pretty
confident
that
safe
routes
to
school
would
not
approve
of
this
a
way
to
get
to
school.
It's
not
safe,
berms.
I
really
I
and
I'm
gonna
miss
a
bunch
of
my
stuff
because
I'm
running
out
of
time
already
but
burns.
M
M
I'm
hoping
there's
more
opening
than
less.
I
agree
with
the
idea
of
doing
more
soils
testing,
but
I'm
not.
M
A
Thank
you,
so
are
there
any
more
community
members
want
to
talk
about
this
agenda
item?
If
no,
if
no
more
and
we
will
start
the
discussion
among
commissioners,
okay,
commissioners,
if
you
have
any
yeah,
if
you
have
anything
you
want
to
say,
please
raise
your
hand.
I
will
call
your
name
one
by
one.
A
Oh,
I
didn't
see:
okay,
yeah
god
paul
kumar
pen.
You
are
the
first
thing.
R
R
I
think
that's
a
next
phase,
I
believe,
but
some
other
things
we
haven't
heard
like,
for
example,
the
lighting
and
the
safety
and
all
parts
which
are
very
critical,
which
I
haven't
even
thought
about
it
earlier.
I
just
that's
a
good
part
of
learning
from
our
colleagues
here
I
like.
Are
you
planning
to
use
these
data
again,
come
back
to
address
those
or
directly
jumping
into
the
design?
Look
at
the
design
means,
and
we
are
already
making
up
our
mind
to
put
few
things
and
come
back
with
the
design
consideration.
R
N
Yeah
well
I'd
I'd
just
like
to
say
that
you
know
the
the
we've
taken
these
into
consideration.
Throughout
you
know,
site
safety
has
been
from
day
one
a
big
concern
if
you've
spent
any
time
on
the
site.
You're
aware
of
what
the
issues
might
be.
N
N
Of
course
there
there
will
be
differing
opinions
about,
because
you
have
these
natural
tensions
between
site
safety,
but
a
noise
barrier,
noise
barriers,
don't
lend
themselves
to
great
site
safety
because
of
visibility,
issues,
and
that's
why
we
wanted
to
develop
these
three
alternatives
to
kind
of
take
those
into
consideration
and
and
bring
it
back
to
the
community,
and
once
those
three
alternatives
are
developed,
we
will
be
going
back
out
to
the
community
to
hear
their
concerns
about
those
specific
three
alternatives.
J
So
the
only
thing
that
I
would
add
to
that
is:
yes,
you
will
get
another
chance
to
review
this
information
and
again
I
would
just
state
this
is
kind
of
the
preliminary.
Instead
of
coming
up
with
three
concepts
to
design,
we
wanted
your
input
first,
and
so
we
will
try
to
address
all
the
different
elements
and
the
three
options
and
then
moving
forward
you
once
you
have
the
three
options
you
can
say
in
option
a
we
really
like
the
sound
wall
and
option
b.
J
We
really
like
you
know
the
pathway
or
the
tree
canopy,
so
you
kind
of
get
to
pull
until
you
come
up
with
one
design
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
process.
In
case
you
needed
further
clarification
on
that.
So
we'll
come
back
to
you
again.
A
Thank
you
and
the
next
is
eric
lindascock.
Q
Yes
again,
so,
if
exploring
you
know
like
the
a
north
connection
outside
the
park
area
was
not
part
of,
you
know
the
request
to
be
studied
here
shouldn't
we
study
that
first
before
we
decide
what
we're
going
to
build,
because
that
I
mean
that's
kind
of
critical
you'd
like
to
have
a
way
through
the
park,
so
it
doesn't
become
a
dead
end
right.
Q
N
Right-
and
I
can
appreciate
the
need
for
that
again
for
that
northern
access-
I
don't
necessarily
believe
that
the
having
the
northern
access
would
would
impact
much
the
type
of
design
that
goes
into
it,
because
it's
whatever
elements
go
into
the
park,
essentially
they'll
still
be
bike
and
pedestrian
access,
but
no
vehicle
access.
So
a
lot
of
the
amenities,
I
think,
would
remain
the
same.
N
It
would
just
open
the
possibility
of
greater
traffic
bike
and
and
pedestrian
traffic
through
the
area,
so
that
that's
sort
of
my
thinking
on
this
and
again,
because
I
think
the
council
is
most
interested
in
trying
to
achieve
something
on
this
at
the
park
site.
Specifically,
then,
the
trail
will
be
the
trail
we
build
on
the
on
the
existing
site
will
be
sort
of
that
incremental
next
step
to
whatever
projects
lead
to
access
on
the
north.
N
I'm
not
certain
of
what
what
type
of
funding
is
available
as
far
as
grant,
funding
or
or
state
funding
associated
with
bike
and
pedestrian
access.
So.
J
I'd
like
to
just
jump
in
here,
real,
quick
eric,
you
bring
up
all
valid
points,
and
I
think
that
you
know
the
feedback
of
the
group
is
duly
noted
and
we'll
certainly
incorporate
that
into
you
know
our
thoughts
moving
forward.
I
would
just
point
out
that
there's
multiple
jurisdictions
involved,
which
always
creates
more
hurdles
and
challenges,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
stop
this
project
in
in
the
time
we're
waiting
to
try
and
organize.
J
X
I
I
would
add
just
one
thing
as
well
is
sometimes
in
our
product
projects
that
we've
done
in
trail
projects
that
it
even
becomes
more
stronger
position
when
you
link
another
portion
to
what's
already
established.
So
you
know
when
it
becomes
the
next
point
it.
It
really
brings
more
emphasis
to
that
project
that
you're
looking
for
and,
as
you
said,
funding
can
become
more
available
because
it's
a
it's
a
super
link.
It's
kind
of
like
you've
just
demonstrate
that
it
really
should
continue
to
go
on.
A
E
Hi,
thank
you,
everybody
for
the
presentation
and
it
was
really
informative.
We've
been
hearing
about
this
for
a
long
time,
so
it's
good
to
see
the
ideas
and
in
general
east
side
has
has
shortage
apart,
so
it'd
be
good.
To
put
this
together,
I
had
I
wanted
to
step
back
a
bit
and
ask
a
question
which
is
probably
more
appropriate
for
the
city
attorney.
Now
I
heard
a
bunch
of
things,
including
coyotes
and
traffic,
and
so
on,
as
the
city
goes
ahead
with
developing
the
property.
E
What
are
the
guidelines
we
have
or
the
processes
we
follow
so
or
whatever
we
create,
is
safe
and
doesn't
expose
the
city
to
liabilities.
So
it's
a
much
broader
question
but,
like
I
wanted
to
bring
that
in
because
I
heard
a
whole
bunch
of
things
which
could
be
safety
later.
Thank
you.
J
Yeah
I
mean
I
would
say
that
you
know
getting
the
community
input
and
feedback
on
the
different
elements
associated
to
the
design
is
the
most
important
here
and
again.
This
is
a
unique
site,
but
I
think
that
once
the
site
is
activated
that
those
issues
that
I
think
people
are
worried
about
will
become
less
prevalent.
J
So
you
know
at
any
park.
We,
you
know,
obviously
have
challenges
when
you
know
it's
night
time
or
you
know
it's
after
hours
and
the
park
is
closed.
But
you
know
we
work
closely
with
the
sheriff
and
code
enforcement
for
those
purposes
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so,
and
so
I
would
say
it's
actually
not
so
much
of
a
problem
in
cupertino
and
our
parks
have
been
utilized
very
well
over
the
pandemic.
S
Thank
you.
So
I
have
a
set
of
inputs
or
feedback.
I
would
say
regarding
the
the
park
right.
So
first
one
is
you
know.
I
think,
commissioner
gerhard
special
work
also
raised
this
point,
so
I
would
like
to
say
that
we
should
consider
widening
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
access
path
and
the
bridge
from
one
heart
avenue
to
the
park.
That's
my
number
one.
S
The
second
thing
is
consider
extending
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
access
across
lawrence
expressway
through
midi
way
or
connecting
all
the
way
to
mood
park,
avenue
and
bonhart
avenue.
We
have
already
a
bicycle
boulevard
that
comes
extends
up
to
that
point,
so
that
will
be
providing
a
good
access
point
for
the
students
on
the
east
side
of
lawrence
expressway
to
reach
the
future
high
school,
for
example.
S
And
of
course
this
requires,
you
know
working
with
the
city
of
the
san
jose
in
order
to
extend
the
path
through,
you
know
meteors.
So
so
that's
my
second
point.
The
third
one
is
extend
the
sound
wall
from
the
south
side
to
the
north
side
of
the
park
across.
You
know.
You
know,
alongside
the
lawrence's
first
way,
that
is
to
provide
nice
mitigation
as
well
as
for
protecting
the
park.
S
You
know
from
the
expressway
the
next
one
I
think
many
of
the
commissioners
have
provided
this
input
and
I
would
again
reiterate
the
point
about
the
north
side:
access
to
the
park
from
stephen's
people
award.
I'm
not
saying
that
you
know
we
have
a
solution
right
now,
but
you
know
I
would
really
request
the
team
to
come
back
with
a
solution,
and
then
we
can
look
at
it
at
a
later
point
when
we
have
a
solution
for
not
saying
access.
S
The
other
point
which
is
again
related
to
this
is
actively
look
for
opportunities
to
acquire
private
properties.
You
know
look
for
sales
on
sterling
so
that
we
can
provide
additional
access
points
to
the
park
north
of
the
you
know
sterling
one
heart
park,
so
that's
something
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at.
I
know
that
you
know,
commissioner
scharf
made
this
point
and-
and
I
think
you
know
this
city
should
actively
look
at
this,
even
though,
even
though
we
don't
have
you
know,
earmark
funding
for
that.
S
But
there
is
the
opportunity
for
this
with
existing
funding.
The
next
thing
is
on
the
park.
You
know
it
should
be
open
from
sunrise
to
sunset,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
deal
with
the
lights
for
environmental
reasons,
I
think
in
general
the
water
district
has
been
discouraging.
S
You
know,
having
lights
alongside
the
creek
side,
so
that
you
know,
I
think
we
should
continue
the
same
and
not
disturb
the
wildlife
from
sunset
to
you
know,
sunrise,
that's
all
I
have
thank
you.
D
Yeah
hi,
I
have
a
very
small
questions.
Three
of
them,
one
is
that
this
park
is
covered
on
two
sides
I-280
and
lawrence
expressway.
D
Has
anybody
or
any
of
these
investigations
in
this
park-
try
to
ascertain
the
air
quality
over
there,
because
these
highways
are
heavily
trafficked
and
large
vehicle
traffic
goes
over
this
and
we
this
is
kind
of
a
park
which
is
next
to
the
highway.
So
it
will
be
good
to
know
that
what
kind
of
air
quality
we
will
have,
probably
it
will
be
part
of
the
squa
investigation.
D
Second,
is
I
want
to
know
in
some
of
the
properties
I
know
in
cupertino
we
came
to
know
the
soil
quality
very
late,
although
the
property
like
walco,
was
there
in
pictures
for
a
very
long
time,
but
later
on
much
later,
like
years
later,
we
figured
out
that
it
had
contamination
in
the
soil
and
it's
kind
of
unusable.
So
I
presume
that
similar
investigation
or
quality
of
the
soil
at
this
place
would
be
made
available
to
the
people
to
look
at
it
and
the
third
community
outreach.
I
just
want
to
know
that.
D
D
It
is
because
the
usage
pattern
and
the
feedback
pattern
on
that
may
not
match
because
the
usage
might
be
on
a
teenager
using
more
or
maybe
the
the
set
of
people
who
are
younger
and
the
people
who
are
giving
you
feedback
a
set
of
different
age
groups.
So
it
is
kind
of
makes
sense
to
basically
figure
out
the
demographic
nature
of
the
feedback
you're
receiving
and
related
to.
That
is
that
some
visitation
statistics
or
data
you
have
from
for
this
particular
park
anticipated
in
future.
D
So
that
will
actually
make
make
many
of
the
budget
constraints
and
things
like
that
much
more
easier
for
us
to
deal
with.
That's
all
thanks.
N
Thank
you
so
myrna.
Can
you
remind
me
whether
we
collected
aged
the
demographic
on
age
on
this.
P
N
We
would
reach
out
specifically
to
younger
populations,
because
we
realize
many
times
it's
the
older
population
that
tend
to
be
very
active
on
these
projects,
so
that,
hopefully
that
answers
your
first
question
in
regards
to
the
soils
and
the
suggestion
for
more
investigation.
I
agree
with
you.
I
I
think
that,
knowing
what
we
know
now,
we
will
need
to
do
a
little
more
site
investigation
on
the
soils
before
we
get
too
far
down
the
road.
I
don't
know
that
it
will
immediately
impact
the
alternatives.
N
It
will
potentially
impact
the
budget
if
we,
depending
on
how
we
choose
to
handle
the
soils
on
site
and
then
in
relation
to
the
air
quality,
and
mike
can
correct
me,
but
I
don't
believe
there
was
any
air
quality
investigation
completed
on
this.
W
W
Regarding
the
soils
you
know
at
this
point,
there
have
been
two
phase:
one
environmental
site
assessments,
two
phase,
two
assessments
done,
so
we
have
a
pretty
good
idea
of
what
types
of
contamination
is
out
there.
What
we
don't
know
is
whether
we
want
you
know
which
of
the
three
options
we
want
to
take,
whether
we
want
to
leave
it
in
place
or
cover
it
or
remove
it
from
the
site.
So.
L
W
I
think,
depending
on
which
way
the
city
wants
to
go
with,
that,
that
will
decide
what,
how
much
more
analysis
we'll
need
to
do
on
the
contamination,
because
we
will,
if
you
want
to
excavate
and
off-haul,
that
material.
We
need
to
know
the
boundaries
the
extent
of
the
contamination,
so
we
can
figure
out
how
much
to
haul
off
and
those
kinds
of
things,
so
that
would
require
some
further
investigation.
If
we
pick
that
option.
O
You
think
it's
a
good
time
to
also
explain
just
the
general
whereabouts
of
it
along
the
expressway
and
the
fact
that
it's
from
historical
car
use
not
not
ongoing.
W
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point.
The
what
we
know
from
the
reports
is
that
the
lead
contamination
occurs
mostly
along
the
edge
of
the
east
edge
of
the
project
site
adjacent
to
the
expressway,
and
the
reason
for
that
is:
it's
caused
from
automobile
exhaust
with
some
atmospheric
deposition
as
well.
So
what
we've
seen
in
the
samples
is
that
the
highest
concentrations
are
in
that
area,
but
there
are
other
locations
to
the
south
as
well.
That
do
have
high
concentrations
too.
So
again,
you
know
more
testing.
O
And
it's
from
the
when
gasoline
all
had
lead
in
it
right.
W
Right
so
going
forward,
since
we
haven't
had
lead
and
gasoline
for
quite
a
while.
Now
it's
not
likely
to
that
those
kinds
of
accumulations
will
happen
in
the
future,
but
the
fact
is
it
is
there
now
it's
a
legacy
contaminant
and
it's
there.
So
we
need
to
decide
what
to
do
with
it.
J
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
add
that,
on
page
23
of
attachment
b
for
the
outreach
report
that
indicates
the
age
range
for
the
participation.
A
Oh
okay,
so
it's
carol
standing!
It's
your
turn!.
Y
Hello,
thank
you
cheer
shoe.
I
just
want
to
support
some
of
the
other
commissioners
comments
with
respect
to
the
completion
of
the
trail
to
the
north.
Y
I
think
we
don't
want
to
have
a
bridge
to
nowhere
where
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
and
for
a
trail.
I
think
the
fact
that
we,
the
city,
has
committed
to
this
project
is
a
very
strong
commitment
that
could
be
put
forward
even
before
it's
completed,
to
go
forward
and
investigate
what
other
options
would
be
available
from
the
other
jurisdictions
and
to
get
their
buy-in.
So,
as
our
director
said,
it's
been
on
the
council's
view
for
many
moons.
Y
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
highlight
it
sooner
rather
than
later,
because
we
know
it
will
still
take
a
long
time
with
all
the
various
jurisdictions
to
get
traction
on
this,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
to
highlight
to
the
council
how
important
the
level
of
interest
from
all
three
of
these
commissions
for
that
north
connection.
Y
So
I
hope
I
don't
I'm
not
saying
this
just
to
say
what
everybody
else
said,
but
just
to
show
the
level
of
support
for
that
option.
The
sound
wall
is
absolutely
a
high
priority
because,
if
you've
been
out
there,
you
know
how
loud
it
is
and
to
commissioner
shu's
point
about.
Maybe
some
of
the
people
giving
input
didn't
understand,
even
though
the
education
was
there
about
the
fact
that
this
is
allowed
could
be
allowed
property.
Y
You
know
some
of
the
comments
or
requests
for
things
like
a
performance
space
simply
don't
make
sense
out
there,
and
so
I
think
we
should
go
through
and
put
some
qualitative
judgments
on
some
of
the
suggestions
like
performance
space
that
that,
unfortunately
yeah
we
need
a
performance
space
in
cupertino.
This
is
not
the
place
for
it,
so
I
even
have
concern
about
having
too
much
picnic
areas,
because
there
is
no
car
access.
Y
The
only
people
who
could
come
there
to
picnic
is
if
you're
coming
on
bike
or
by
foot,
and
it
will
still
be
loud,
and
so,
let's
consider
will
people
want
to
come
here
to
picnic
versus
go
to
one
of
our
other
parks.
So
what
are
the
things
that
we
can
put
here?
That
that
makes
sense
with
where
it
is
with
respect
to
dog
access?
I
think
dogs
on
leash
should
be
something
that
is
absolutely
allowed
there.
Y
Dogs
are
allowed
throughout
our
city,
except
in
the
nature,
preserve,
and
there
should
be
no
security
issue
with
respect
to
dogs
on
leash
at
all,
and
you
know
if
there
is
an
interest
in
dogs
off
leash.
I
think
that
should
be
maybe
a
later
review
that
could
be
could
be
studied
separately,
but
dogs
on
leash,
I
think,
should
be
something
that
shouldn't
even
be
a
question,
but
we
should
make
sure
that
that
is
available.
Y
Those
are
all
my
comments.
Thanks.
A
A
I
just
want
to
share
some
information
so
more
than
10
years
ago
the
saratoga
creek
they
had
water
and
all
year,
so
even
in
the
summertime
there's
a
lot
of
water
there
in
the
creek,
but
from
about
eight
years
ago,
because
of
the
drought
and
so
from
spring
to
fall.
There
was
completely
no
water
and
after
three
or
four
years,
some
trees
around
the
creek.
They
started
to
die
because
their
roots
was
very
shallow
and
without
the
running
water
in
the
creek
they
just
started
to
die.
A
N
I
would
say:
yes,
we've
had
a
tree
inventory
completed
on
the
site
to
assess
the
condition,
the
condition
of
all
the
trees
along
the
corridor
there
and
definitely
landscaping,
including
trees,
would
be
part
of
this
project
and
the
consideration
of
current
sort
of
drought
conditions
will
be,
would
be
part
of
that
decision
and
jan
maybe,
we've
got
something
to
add.
There.
A
Okay,
thanks
and
I
have
another
comments
on
the
survey
result
I
so
the
restroom
is
put
in
a
high
priority.
I
just
want
to
explain
why
it's
like
this.
I
think
because
more
than
half
of
the
people
filled
the
surveys.
They've
come
from
east
side
and
the
bahar
park.
There
was
no
restroom
and
it's
inconvenient.
A
So
that's
why
people
just
put
it
high
priority,
but
I'm
thinking
if
we
have
the
survey
in
some
other
area
of
cupertino
or
maybe
some
other
place,
maybe
people
just
think
every
park
has
restrooms.
Then
they
don't
need
to
worry
about
it,
then
they
they
won't
put
it
as
so
high
priority.
A
So
maybe,
if
the
this
is
a
big
park,
we
are
going
to
definitely
we
are
definitely
going
to
build
a
restroom,
and
maybe
we
can
remove
this
part
and
look
at
the
next
one
residents
that
they
hope
to
see
at
this
park
and
so
the
after
the
restroom.
I
think
the
next
one
is
a
lighting,
so
I'm
not
clear
about
so.
If
we
want
to
the
park
to
open
after
sunset,
I'm
pretty
sure
we
need
some
lighting
and
because
recently,
in
recent
years
there
were
quality
along
the
saratoga
creek.
A
So
without
lighting
there
may
be
some
safety
issue,
but
I
also
heard
about
to
keep
the
natural
trail
and
to
protect
the
animals
and
the
birds.
Maybe
we
don't
need
the
light,
so
I
want
to
know
if
a
staff
member
already
have
some
study
on
this
issue,
why
you
put
the
lighting
on
the
survey
and
so
many
people
said
they
hope
to
see
that
in
the
park.
N
N
But
it's
definitely
something
we'll
continue
to
consider.
It's
just
a
matter
of
how
compatible
it
is
with
the
other
design
elements
in
within
the
park
and
what
it
what
it,
what
problems
it
solves
and
what
problems
it
creates.
J
So
if
I
might,
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
raised
either
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
you
know
the
team
involved
lisa
and
mig
as
well
as
your
coordination
chair
shoe
for
this
item.
We
really
appreciate
everybody's
participation
and
feedback
and
we'll
definitely
incorporate
this
information
prior
to
it
going
to
city
council,
and
so,
if
no
one
has
anything
else,
I
think
we
can
close
out
the
meeting
and
cherish
you.
A
Okay
yeah
for
this
adrenal
item.
We
don't
need
to
vote
for
anything.
So
thank
you.
Everyone
for
attending
this
meeting
and
thanks
all
the
staff
members
you
prepared
so
many
yeah
great
presentations,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
hard
work
before
this
meeting
to
make
it
happen
and
thanks
for
answering
so
many
questions-
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
community
members
join
our
meeting
and
share
your
opinion.
That's
very
helpful!
