Is there anything else you'd like to add? Please discourage car routes going through existing neighborhoods. With this much added density , is here Allan for more schools? If San Antonio is to become available walking area, cafes and storefronts and restaurant space and office space is needed, especially at ground level . Maybe even a public parking garage below some of these residential buildings.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the North Fabian neighborhood? I am not a developer and can't say I know enough about how to make the balances between the mix of building and uses. I live in the Monta Loma neighborhood of Mountain View and will say that this quadrant of Mountain View and the adjacent area of Palo Alto along San Antonio is a bit of an island. There just are not enough retail areas and there should be enough businesses and residences along with the neighboring communities to support retail. I also believe the mix should be made with consideration of traffic in and out of the area, although it is not apparent that the ratio of commercial/residences would make a difference, but I could be wrong. Also, despite the strong bicyclist lobby, people are not going to riding bicycles and time in the near future.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the CTI sub area? My position on parks is that all residents should have walkable access to park space that serves their needs throughout their lives. For example, tot lots for kids, sports fields and large open space for teens and young adults, spaces for parties, dog, lounging, neighborhood meetings, etc., and places where elders can walk, sit in the sun, etc. Parks should not be overwhelmed with amenities as open space can be multi-use.

Feedback for Alternative 1 My comments apply to all alternatives. I just don't see how we can devote so much space for bicycles when so few people actually will use them. Next, I just don't see how people are going to want to walk along San Antonio and the other streets with heavy traffic. Pedistrian traffic and bicycle traffic along the busy streets will create significant congestion at the intersections. Please design traffic flow to mitigate cut-through traffic through neighboring communities used to avoid the busy intersections.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the North Fabian neighborhood? Absolutely nothing should be allowed until AFTER we fix the traffic situation on San Antonio Road. I do NOT mean adding bike lanes. I have gone to several community meetings. People want to talk about traffic. The intersection of Middlefield and San Antonio Road is not functional. The one at Charleston and san Antonio Road is barely functional. At these meetings, the organizers quiet people by saying that we will talk about traffic at the end. Then when everyone is tired and ready to go home, the organizers talk about adding bike lanes. Never any discussion about changes to car throughput. Tired, we go quietly without ever discussing what we are passionate about. NO NEW ZONING until we build a cloverleaf intersection at 101 and expand SAR to allow more car throughput.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the CTI sub area? NO NEW ZONING especially here until there is a cloverleaf on 101 and we close the southbound entrance to 101 on Charleston. There is no mention of retail and residential supporting services, only offices. You NEED retail integrated in with the housing, especially grocery stores and daycare, services families use weekly, to cut down on traffic. Also, this area is one of the few light industrial areas left in Palo Alto. I would hate to have to drive to San Jose for these services. The existing light industrial should be integrated into the neighborhood and not booted out of Palo Alto.

Feedback for Alternative 1 As ebikes are on the rise, we need more bike lanes. And these bikes cannot share the sidewalk space with pedestrians, too dangerous. There have already been several ebike-related deaths in Santa Cruz.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the North Fabian neighborhood? Developing this site will also mean dealing with the unhoused people living on Fabian Way. But, in the long run, adding more housing should improve their chances of being able to live in an actual home.
Share your input on Alternative 1 Support
Feedback for Alternative 1 I like that cars, bikes, and pedestrians each have their own space. Being a large divided road with few crossings, the one way bike paths may be inconvenient when trying to bike to a business or residence on the other side of the road.

Feedback for Alternative 2 I think parallel parking on San Antonio Rd. is unsafe, and I prefer to see bikes and pedestrians each have their own space.
Share your input on Alternative 3 Strongly Support
Feedback for Alternative 3 This is an excellent alternative. The two-way bike paths make it easier to bike to locations on either side of the street. And I like that bikes, pedestrians, and cars each have their own lanes.
Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the street cross sections? This would be a huge improvement for cyclists, as the current San Antonio Rd. asks that bikes share a lane with fast moving cars (35MPH or more), who are very unhappy to have to wait behind a bike.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the North Fabian neighborhood? I am in favor of high density housing but in a way that is supported by enough infrastructure like parks, 3rd spaces, retail, cafes and plenty of pedestrian (sidewalks) and bike lanes, trees and community centers to serve the families (like the Cubberly plan) I recently visited Davis and was very impressed by all the bike paths connecting all the neighborhoods, not only on campus, but all over town. they carved space in all the backyard and connected them with a bike/pedestrial trail. We should do something like that with this project, account for bike/pedestrian paths that take people to all the coonnecting areas, community centers, public transport, etc.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the CTI sub area? We desperately need more housing in the Bay Area, including Palo Alto. There are a lot of empty office available in Palo Alto. Why would we build more rather than maximizing the amount of housing? New housing could require more retail space for amenities for people living in the new housing, e.g. nearby grocers.

Feedback for Alternative 1 I don't know how much parking there is on San Antonio in that section right now. What will be the impact of taking away those parking spaces? Where will people park nearby?
Share your input for Alternative 2 Support
Feedback for Alternative 2 I'm concerned about how long it would take to get additional right-of-way, which would delay this project.

This plan offers a good alternative for walkers. If they don't want to be in the same lane as bicyclists, they can use the other side of the street.
Share your input on Alternative 3 Neutral / Don't know
Feedback for Alternative 3 I like the idea of bicyclists and pedestrians each having their own lanes. Less chance of accidents and bicyclists could probably travel faster that way.
But, I don't like the idea of taking down trees unless they need to be removed for their health or for people's safety (e.g. potential damage in a storm.)
And I have no idea how much pedestrian traffic there would be along San Antonio.

I'm concerned about how long it would take to get additional right-of-way, which would delay this project.
Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the street cross sections? Encouraging bicyclists to use San Antonio with better protected lanes could help mitigate traffic congestion. I don't know if enough people would walk that stretch to have a big impact on anything, so it might not be worth the expense of having designated lanes for pedestrians.

Is there anything else you'd like to add? Re: Fabian Way development
I'm dismayed that the development going in on corner of Fabian and Charleston will be tall enough to block the windows of the Moldaw residences on that side. Not good planning, in my opinion.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the North Fabian neighborhood? Residential density (developer profitability) should be sufficient to provide as large a park as possible - for a sports field - and ideally a major grocery store. Assuming easy connection between the CTI and North Fabian areas, such amenities can be maximized.

Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the CTI sub area? Residents of the CTI area should feel that the outdoor space is integral to their community. Seales, Hoover, Pardee and Peers neighborhood parks are examples, in contrast to Mitchell Park and Rinconada parks which serve a much wider community. Visibility from Charleston is not ideal. Additionally, a larger park in this area needs restroom facilities, as experiences in the other neighborhood parks mentioned.

Feedback for Alternative 1 Such separation of the bikeway from the San Antonio traffic is fine for skillful adults who can abide by traffic rules. It is not suitable for kids, distracted teenagers nor those adults who, for example, ride in the wrong direction. The sidewalks are lovely. However they will attract bikes.
Share your input for Alternative 2 Strongly Support
Feedback for Alternative 2 The section between Middlefield and Alma is likely to include San Antonio Avenue as a bike boulevard only on the north (west?) side of San Antonio. The other sections east of Middlefield should easily connect with San Antonio Avenue and remain on only one side of San Antonio Road to avoid crossing. A two-way bike/ped route separated from San Antonio Road traffic is a safe alternative, certainly when use is light or primarily in one direction at a particular time of day with higher use. My experience with relatively narrow two-way bike paths is that cyclists must be patient both with pedestrians and bikes coming the opposite direction. Consequently a slightly separated eastbound bike lane is desirable for commuters and adult riders (and realistically for e-bikes). The sidewalk is much nicer and safer for pedestian than a shared bike/pedestian path. The drawback is loss of parking for the residents.

Feedback for Alternative 3 This option feels wonderful for all reasons except: the need to expand right-of-way is of questionable feasibility (cost, private property etc); loss of all parking; and, lack of integration with crossing Alma and tracks from one side of San Antonio Road or the other.
Is there any other feedback you’d like to provide on the street cross sections? I wonder how much use a bike/ped way along San Antonio would get. It certainly will entice non-automobile connections between the proposed major residential development and CalTrain. Bike lanes also can connect the new housing to Middlefield and Charleston. Both of these benefits make the bike route worthwhile. Other than that, access to the Baylands is safer via the bike bridge. San Antonio is not a good route to schools. Grocery stores in Mountain View are not easily accessed between Alma and El Camino, even if purchases are light enough for bike transport. A major grocery store besides Costco within the new developments is a better solution to that problem.

The severe problems of bike/ped crossing at Charleston and Middlefield, and of a route across Alma to the CalTrain Station, must be resolved.

Is there anything else you'd like to add? I consider myself a skillful adults bicyclist. Most of my bicycling is longer distance recreation. I do often ride for errands into Mountain View, California Avenue and University Avenue areas. I have never bicycled along San Antonio Road. San Antonio Road is my automobile route to northbound Bayshore Freeway-101, and I occasionally drive along San Antonio Road in the study area.
