    Have better signage and painted lanes to indicate which lanes go directly onto Wolfe from Fremont, and which lanes will place cars directly in the lane to turn onto El Camino. Very confusing for anyone not used to the Wolfe/Fremont/ECR intersection.

    This corridor, along with the intersection of El Camino Real and Poplar, are direct entry points for Peterson Middle School. It is ludicrous that there are no crossing guards, no light-up crosswalks, no bike lanes, NO ANYTHING to keep our kids safe. With Starbucks now on the corner of Poplar and El Camino, cars speeding through red lights on El Camino, and no safety measures in place, this intersection is a tragedy waiting to happen. Parents of Peterson kids have been making their voices heard for a decade, but still, no safety measures are in place. Please do something at Henderson and Poplar to make these intersections safe for middle schoolers who walk or bike to school. There are crossing guards along El Camino Real in every other city on the peninsula. Why not Sunnyvale? At least provide crossing guards as an interim measure until the City can (hopefully) install light-up crosswalks with longer lead time, buffered bike lanes, or changes to signal timing. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. Do it for the kids.

Open City Hall is not a certified voting system or ballot box. As with any public comment process, participation in Open City Hall is voluntary. The responses in this record are not necessarily representative of the whole population, nor do they reflect the opinions of any government agency or elected officials.

Your answers will NOT be saved

This is the form that was used to collect responses. It's here so you can try it and see how it worked when the topic was open.

The topic is now closed, and anything you enter into this form will not be saved.

Sign in and be yourself

Sign in and let others know who you are and what you think. You can sign in now or after you submit your response. You'll be able to read your response on this website and change it if you change your mind.

Even though your response will be shared with staff, it won’t be shown on this public website so other community members won’t have the opportunity to see it.

What are my options to participate?

Open City Hall has two participation channels:

  • The Registered Channel: Sign in before or just after you submit your response. Either way, Community Feedback will show your response on this website.
  • The Unregistered Channel: Don't sign in and remain anonymous. Community Feedback will just share your response with Sunnyvale staff.

Note: The first time you sign in, you'll need to register (establish an account on Open City Hall). Registration is free.

Why do I need to sign in to show my response on this website?

The City of Sunnyvale has contracted with Community Feedback to monitor responses shown on this website.

  • To prevent any single user from dominating the forum, the City of Sunnyvale restricts the number of responses any one user can post on selected topics. Registration helps Community Feedback enforce this restriction.
  • Users, staff and government leaders often want to know the neighborhood from which a response is posted. Community Feedback uses registration to show the neighborhood next to each response (not the address).
  • If a user posts a response that does not meet the City of Sunnyvale guidelines for civility, Community Feedback uses the user's email address to invite the user to resolve the issue.
I'm concerned about privacy. Who will get my contact information and what will they use it for?

Community Feedback will get your contact information. The company is under contract with the City of Sunnyvale to hold it in strict confidence per their privacy policy.

What other benefits do I get from signing in?
  • Since you'll see your own response on Open City Hall, you'll be able to confirm that your response was posted as you intended.
  • You'll be able to change and/or delete your response as long as the topic is open.
I'm still very concerned about privacy. Is there a way for me to submit a response without registering?

Yes. Sign out, then set your privacy preference to be "No - just show it without my name to staff". You won't need to register.

What prevents an unregistered user from submitting multiple anonymous responses?

While no authentication procedure can perfectly detect every fraudulent registration, Community Feedback is able to secure the registered channel against systematic fraud: cases where users submit enough statements with fraudulent registrations to sway the overall interpretation of the feedback.

Community Feedback is unable to secure the unregistered channel against systematic fraud, because unregistered users are anonymous.

Neither the registered nor the unregistered channel represent a certified voting system or ballot box - and that caveat is footnoted on every page of feedback. Instead, both are additional channels for feedback to government.

Why are there two participation channels?

Users can participate on the registered channel (by signing in) or on the unregistered channel (by remaining anonymous). The City of Sunnyvale offers both channels in order to broaden participation and maximize decision makers' insights.

The registered channel enables users to assure decision makers that their feedback comes from a real person in a specific neighborhood. It also enables users to participate in a public discussion on the website, as well as manage their own response after posting it.

The unregistered channel is for users who want to provide quick feedback without registering, and/or whose privacy concerns would prevent them from participating if required to register. Because many users with valuable insights will only share them anonymously, this channel gives decision makers the option to consider those insights in their deliberations.

What is OpenGov?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company whose mission is to broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government. The City of Sunnyvale has contracted with OpenGov to administer Open City Hall.
