Thanks to everyone who attended or submitted comments for Tuesday’s Council meeting on the General Plan. The members and views of the Mountain View Coalition for Sustainable Planning had a fantastic showing! We had about six or so people get up and express their support for a walkable, affordable, beautiful, transit-accessible city. These folks made it very clear that if achieving the City of Villages vision took a certain amount of new growth then that was ok by them! Way to be bold guys!
Council seems to be hearing the messages we're sending; four members of Council asked staff if the allowed densities in our identified focus areas were high enough to actually allow villages to develop. Staff said that in the new year they would delve deeper into what each neighborhood’s “village center” should look like and what it will take to get there, so stay tuned!
Keep up the good work! Our efforts are having an impact!
