At our next meeting on February 12th (note the change of date), 6:30 pm at Toyota Sunnyvale, 898 W. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, our topics will be:
- Sunnyvale Active Transportation Plan
How can we continue to improve options for bicyclists and pedestrians in Sunnyvale?
How can Sunnyvale students more safely walk and bike to school?
The City of Sunnyvale is exploring these questions as part of a year-long effort to create an Active Transportation Plan that will address bicycle, pedestrian and Safe Routes to Schools needs throughout the City.
The Active Transportation Plan will help the City strategically invest in programs and projects to make walking and bicycling safer and more convenient for residents. In addition, the Plan will analyze ways to make it safer for Sunnyvale students to walk and bike to school.
2. Study Issues. We will look at Study Issues being considered by the City Council related to housing and transportation.
3. Measures G and H
Since the cost of attending California’s public universities has risen to almost five times that of attending a community college, many students and their families rely on their local community college to get a high-quality education and save tens of thousands of dollars. At the same time, the needs of students who face hunger and housing insecurity is a growing challenge across our district. To address these needs, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Nov. 25 to place two measures on the March 3, 2020 ballot.
Measure G – the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Affordable Career, College Transfer, Classroom Repair Measure – is a $898 million general obligation bond that would cost property owners approximately 1.6 cents per $100 of assessed value (not market value) annually through 2053-54.
Measure H – the Educational and Teacher Excellence Parcel Tax – is a $48 parcel tax that would be levied for five years and raise approximately $5.6 million annually.
These measures are designed to increase opportunities and support for local students to earn college credits, certifications, and job skills at a reasonable price and transfer to four-year universities.
