What are the priorities you would like to see the City Council adopt for 2025? Safe and sustainable transportation (including more transit and bicycle facilities) is key to all of the listed priorities above. Please ensure that funding and staffing for transportation planning and engineering is increased as this is foundational to all the categories Council is discussing.

What are the priorities you would like to see the City Council adopt for 2025? The first and foremost is to help downtown and California businesses recover immediately and with quick results for residents and visitors alike to see. Time to show blue cities like Palo Alto can get things done.

What are the priorities you would like to see the City Council adopt for 2025? Combatting airplane noise from SFO and PAO. The current conditions degrade the quality of life for Palo Alto citizens.

What are the priorities you would like to see the City Council adopt for 2025? Reduce airplane noise and emissions, including at the Palo Alto airport, to help the City reduce carbon emissions and improve the health and wellness of the community.
All aircraft produce large amounts of carbon emissions and aircraft that use leaded fuel produce lead emissions that are harmful to people, especially young children. California banned the sale and use of leaded gasoline in 1992. That was 22 years ago. Banning leaded fuel for piston engine aircraft at PAO is way overdue.
Aircraft noise, especially at night, is disturbing people's activities, including the ability to sleep several hours without being awaken by a jet, cargo plane, propeller plane, or helicopter.
The City should not be promoting aviation and should not expand the PAO airport capacity. Instead the City should protect the Baylands and use the marsh for flood control given the rise of sea levels. Electric aircraft are in their infancy and research has yet to be conducted and published about the negative consequences of thousands of unmanned aircraft/drones flying at low altitudes over densely populated areas.

What are the priorities you would like to see the City Council adopt for 2025? Housing around transit centers. A more vibrant, walkable downtown. Improve on the parklets, please don't shut them down.

What are the priorities you would like to see the City Council adopt for 2025? I want to see the council focus on building a Palo Alto community that is truly diverse and welcoming. That must include creating more housing options for all income levels.

What are the priorities you would like to see the City Council adopt for 2025? This may not be a city-wide issue, but I am very concerned that the closure of parking lanes along El Camino (which I support) has had the unintended but predictable consequence of moving large numbers of RVs into adjacent residential neighborhoods. Undermining residential communities does not seem like the way to address the region's housing challenges.
