Stands up for Open Spaces and Parks

By Laura Macias

Candidate for Council Member; City of Mountain View

This information is provided by the candidate
When I started as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner, I introduced the concept of having open space guidelines for residents-- three acres per 1000 residents.
  • As a result, thirteen years later, these goals are still being used to identify where parks are needed in the city.
  • I support a large community park in the Whisman neighborhood.
  • I advocate the expansion of the Stevens Creek, Permanente Creek and Hetch Hetchy trails.
  • I embrace through my cyclist friends' advocacy, the Permanente Creek Trail Bridge over 101 and Old Middlefield Way for safe access to the city.
