Questions & Answers

1. What would you do to insure that the City's park facilities and future increases in the City's population are distributed throughout the City to fairly serve all geographical areas of the community?

I don't want to see future increases in the City's population distributed throughout the City. I want to see future increases in Mountain View's population concentrated near light rail stops and train stations.

As things stand now, parks on the west side of El Camino are at almost one park per precinct nearer the bay they are much more scattered. I would like to see another park or two in the south eastern part of town.

3. Do you support restoration of Hangar One? And if it is restored, who should be responsible for its use and ongoing maintenance?

I have many friends who support restoring Hangar One. It bothers me to admit that I think the building is more trouble than it's worth. The walls have PCBs in them. They leach out and pollute the ground water. The ceiling is so high that heating and cooling are impractical. It has been many years since we had an airship big enough to need Hangar One to house it.

4. Would you support restoration of Hangar One if that would limit the effective restoration of Site 25 as a tidal marsh?

I'm not a supporter of Hangar One.
