What leadership qualities and experiences do you think are most important for the next Chief of Public Safety to have?  Chief Ngo has been an incredible Chief of Public Safety for Sunnyvale. The next Chief should care for the City of Sunnyvale, it's residents, and the integrity of the City. Keeping our City safe, clean, free from crime, progressive, interacting with and respecting the opinions of it's residents to better Sunnyvale. He/She should have a respectful and communicative relationship with the members of the Public Safety Department. We have the BEST DPS in the nation and we love that they can do the jobs/responsibilities of both Public Safety and Fire Departments. The next Chief should love his position and what he/she can do for Sunnyvale....be observant of what's best for the residents and businesses of Sunnyvale. Common Sense, respect, honest, tough, and fair.
What are the top three priorities you want the next Chief of Public Safety to address?  Safety and Cleanliness of the City
Economically affordable to live here.
Ability to communicate with the residents of the City.
What are the most important things you want the next Chief of Public Safety to know about Sunnyvale? That the residents of Sunnyvale LOVE their City and all it has to offer, and feel safer in this City. Many neighborhoods are very close and are automatic "Neighborhood Watches", especially where there are school children walking to and from school every day. They used to know that they can knock on a door if they needed help....however big or small....and they would get help from a "neighbor". We love the growth in our City, but it needs to remain a safe and clean place to live and work. It is such a convenient City, as we have almost everything all around us.
The City Manager will make the final decision on who to hire as our next Chief of Public Safety. Is there anything else you want him to know about an ideal candidate? I think Deputy Chief Hank Su is an awesome candidate for the position. He communicates well with people, is friendly, and seems like he would uphold the law when necessary.

Do you support this alternative (pick one)? I don't support it
What changes to this alternative would make you support it or like it more? At a face value, option 1 is being sold as a safe option for bikes but it is not the safest of the three options. It puts a more vulnerable segment of the population at higher risk as they need to walk more and cross streets: Kids and Senior citizens. This option will add 4-7 min of walk for this population and they may not be physically able to walk that much. The option increases the number of people that need to cross the street and potentially JWalk, makin the street more risky. Please factor in their safety too and come up with holistically safe option for everyone that uses the street. Safety for bikers: Based on the statistics shared during the meeting, there were 5 accidents on hollenbeck ave over the last 5 years. In none of those accident, a car was at fault. In 2-3 accident, the biker was at fault. It would be good to double verify these stats and check if cars are indeed at fault for the accidents. A couple of options that can help make the street safer for bikes is: (a) Street Calming: add more speed breakers, roundabouts, (b) Potentially reduce speed limit for street from 30mph to 25 mph.
If this alternative is built, which of the following would best describe you? (pick one) I already bike here and would bike the same
Do you have any comments about this options? (type below) Hollenbeck is a relatively small street with only 40 feet width. The parallel streets like Mary and sunnyvale saratoga have similar bike lanes as option 1 and are much much wider streets. Mary used to be 2X2 street and was changed to 1X1 with middle lane in order to make space for bike lanes. With this option, there would be no marking on the street. There is no good alternative suggested for garbage day where everyone would put out garbage bins that would potentially cover the bike lanes and the garbage pickup truck would block the street. Drop off trucks of Amazon, Fedex, UPS, USPS, etc would now be forced to park on the street instead of curb side blocking the street. The proposal would also reduce the width of the street by 2 feet which would make it more dangerous to cross the garbage truck or drop off trucks Mornings are particularly busy on hollenbeck street due to all the school traffic as well as folks using the street to get to offices in Cupertino(Apple) and south bay. Bike usage of hollenbeck: The survey checked bikelane usage at an intersection and not for the entire street. Also, only a few hr period was used to collect data in the month of September which is a relatively pleasant weather. Oct to March gets a bit chilly and raily and I, who live on hollenbeck street, hardly see anyone biking on the street. 7. Financial liability for residents of hollenbeck: If there is no parking on the street, any handyman or construction worker or gardener would need to carry heavy machinery to get to site. First hand conversation with a few contractors suggests that they would not be willing to take such projects. This would mean the residents of the street would need to pay more for any ongoing maintenance or renovation projects. Also, Cleaners, Nanny, etc would need to walk for 7 min X 2 = ~15 min for each visit. The residents would need to bear this cost indirectly.
Do you support this alternative (pick one)? I don't support it
What changes to this alternative would make you support it or like it more? I have explained by arguments of risk for senior citizen and kids crossing the street, it does not make it safer for this segment of population. The option is not safe for bikers either as they need to alternate between different sides. This would increase the JWalking on the street make the street more risky for accidents.
If this alternative is built, which of the following would best describe you (pick one)? I already bike here and would bike the same
Do you have any comments about this options? (type below) This is quite an expensive option but does not solve issues for bikers, pedestrians or cars.
Do you support this alternative (pick one)? I support it
What changes to this alternative would make you support it or like it more? I would recommend a few things for this option As a part of city calming, add speed breaker, round abouts to the street to slow down the traffic. We can use special speed breakers that slow down traffic for civilians but not for emergency vehicles like Police, Ambulance. The speed limit of the street can be reduced from 30mph to 25mph to make it safer for bikers. The street can have prominent signs that the street is shared by bikes and cars
Do you have any comments about this option? (Type below) This is a relatively less expensive option. With city calming, reduced speed, it can address concerns of bikers while not negatively impacting residents. Hollenbekck is a relatively narrow street and this option is a good middle ground.
