Mountain View police used a police dog to track down a 10-year-old boy who allegedly stabbed a 7-year-old girl at an after-school program.
The girl was on the playground at Bubb Elementary School, at 525 Hans Ave., when she was stabbed three times by the 10-year-old on Wednesday around 3:30 p.m., according to a statement from Mountain View Police.
Police found a kitchen knife on the playground. It is still under investigation how the boy got the knife, said police spokeswoman Monica Leon. Leon would not say exactly what kind of knife was used.
The school was placed on lockdown

while officers searched for the stabber. Meanwhile, the fire department treated the girl’s wounds and sent her home with a parent, police said.
The 10-year-old had run off the campus by the time police arrived, but by looking at security video from homes
nearby, an officer recognized the boy from previous interactions, police said. They then borrowed a police dog from Los Altos to track the scent of the boy, who was found at his home, police said.
The 10-year-old doesn’t attend either the program or Bubb Elementary, according to a statement from Mountain View Police. Police are still inves-

Some Woodside residents are against the town building housing on a 22-acre site along Interstate 280 because it would endanger a rare wildflower.
Caltrans offered to sell Woodside the site off of Farm Hill Boulevard next to Barkley Fields and Park to meet its state-mandated housing goals, according to Town Attorney Jean Savaree. Residents spoke out on Tuesday against buying the land near Canada College to preserve the rare wildflowers and the last open space on the east side of town.
The land contains native plants such as the Fritillaria falcata, also known as the White Fritillary, and Hesperolinon congestum, also known as Marin Western Flax. Councilman Dick Brown said the

The Palo Alto Unified School District yesterday released the settlement agreement in which it agreed to pay $3.25 million to middle school PE teacher Peter Colombo after he had been falsely accused of sexually assaulting a student in the 2001-02 school year.
The Daily Post first reported on Feb. 14 that the district had agreed to the settlement, but district officials and Colombo’s attorney refused to release the actual settlement document.
The Post made a number of requests for the document and filed
requests citing the Brown Act and the California Public Information Act. The request was fulfilled yesterday.
The Brown Act, the state law that regulates government meetings, required the district to release

Indulge in a leisurely brunch on the sun-drenched sundeck this Sunday, accompanied by champagne and bellini cocktails.
In an attempt to seek justice for their son, the heartbroken parents of a 4-year-old boy who was killed after a car struck him last year outside a Burlingame restaurant have filed a lawsuit against multiple involved parties.
Ayden Fang died on Aug. 8, 2025, while playing on the sidewalk outside the Truffle Poke Bar restaurant on Donnelly Avenue.
Teen driver startled
The driver of a white Mazda, 19-year-old Mari Abey, was pulling out of the driveway of a parking lot across the street from the restaurant when an e-bike hit her car. Two children, an 11-year-old boy and his 10-year-old sister, were riding the e-bike.
The collision startled Abey, and she accelerated onto the sidewalk and into the restaurant, striking the boy in front of his parents. Ayden was found motionless under the car and died at the scene.
“Our lives as we knew them shattered,” said Ayden’s father, Xiaoming Fang, in a briefing at the law firm of the attorneys hired by Ayden’s parents. “Nothing can bring Ayden back. Nothing can lessen the pain of missing his hugs, his kisses, and his acts of kindness.”
No charges filed
The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office decided not to file charges against the driver, believing that it could not prove vehicular manslaughter or gross negligence of the driver beyond a reasonable doubt.
“This is a tragedy for the little boy’s family, but not every tragedy fits within the criminal law of California,” said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe in a statement.
Ayden’s father and mother, Ting Ting Liu, filed the civil lawsuit yesterday against Abey, Abey’s parents, the city of Burlingame, and the parents of the 11-year-old e-bike rider.

A gun was found in a Menlo-Atherton High student’s locker, Atherton police said yesterday.
Two students were blocking the view of a locker containing an item they had placed inside, prompting an employee to be concerned on Wednesday at 1 p.m., police said.
After the students left, the employee
opened the locker and found a backpack with a gun and called the Atherton Police Department’s School Resource Officer. The officer found the two students involved, and charges were filed against them for having a gun on campus without a serial number, according to police.
There were no threats to the campus, and the gun was safely secured, police said. The investigation is ongoing.

PG&E, Visa, labor unions and the owners of the Golden State Warriors have donated to a $1.3 million campaign supporting a half-cent sales tax to bail out BART and Caltrain, campaign finance forms show.
San Francisco tech billionaire Chris Larsen made the largest donation of $500,000 on Nov. 13, followed by $200,000 from the Service Employees International Union and $125,000 from PG&E.
The campaign is collecting signatures to place a measure on the November ballot in five Bay Area counties.
The tax would last 14 years and generate about $1 billion per year, according to the state Senate.
Unions representing BART
supervisors, transit workers and government employees donated a combined $150,000, the campaign reported.
Silicon Valley Community Foundation, based in Mountain View, donated $100,000. The company that oversees the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State Valkyries and Chase Center donated $75,000, and Visa donated $50,000, the campaign reported.
What the tax would fund
If the measure passes, BART would get $330 million, VTA would get $264 million and Muni would get $170 million per year.
Caltrain would get $75 million, and SamTrans would get $50 million.
Transit agencies are trying to
address a loss in fare revenue that started in March 2020 when offices closed because of Covid. Caltrain’s ridership is at 64% of pre-pandemic numbers.
If the measure fails, Caltrain would run once per hour, end service at 9 p.m. on weekdays and eliminate all weekend service, according to the campaign.
Polling results from January 2025 showed the tax had between 51% and 57% support, above the 50% needed to pass.
Palo Alto City Council endorsed the measure on March 2, with one public comment against the tax from resident Bill Hough.
“All this nickel and diming contributes to making the Bay Area a horribly expensive place to live, especially for people of modest means,” Hough said.
UNCOMPROMISED STANDARDS. UNPARALLELED RESULTS
Xin approaches Palo Alto real estate with sharp analytical
The biggest new restaurant trend is small.
Special menus with petite, less expensive portions are popping up all over, from large chains like Olive Garden and The Cheesecake Factory to trendy urban eateries and farm-to-fork dining rooms.
Restaurants hope that offering smaller servings beyond the children’s menu will meet many different diners’ needs. Some people want to spend less. Others are looking for healthier options or trying to lose weight.

Beth Tipton, the co-owner of Daniel Girls Farmhouse Restaurant in Connersville, Ind., introduced an eight-item Mini Meals menu last fall after several customers requested smaller portions. The menu, which includes daily specials like a half piece of meatloaf with green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy for $8, now accounts for about 20% of the restaurant’s orders, she said.
Older adults make up about half of the restaurant’s clientele, Tipston said,
and some customers told her the regular menu was a stretch for their budgets. As someone who had weight-loss surgery, she also knew from experience that many restaurants won’t allow adults to order from children’s menus.
“We wanted it to be available to all without the word ‘kids meals’ attached,” Tipton said.
Eating out and GLP-1s
Some restaurants are adding menus to court users of GLP-1 weight-loss and diabetes drugs like Zepbound, Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro.
Last fall, restaurateur Barry Gutin ran into multiple friends who told him they were taking GLP-1s and struggling to find restaurants that met their dietary needs and smaller appetites.
Gutin, co-owner of Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar in Philadelphia, Washington, Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Orlando, Fla., developed the chain’s GLP-Wonderful menu. He said the menu has increased business.
“People say, ‘Thank you for serving us’,” Gutin said.

U.S. tap water is generally safe and high quality. But that doesn’t mean every glass tastes the same, or that every building’s plumbing delivers identical water to the faucet.
That uncertainty has fueled a booming market for water filters, from simple pitcher models to multi-thousand-dollar reverse osmosis systems. Yet experts say most American households don’t need extensive treatment. The challenge is knowing how to decide whether you need a filter.
EPA health standards
Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency sets health standards for more than 90 contaminants in public water systems,
including chemicals and microbes. Utilities treat water with disinfectants like chlorine to kill harmful germs before it reaches homes. Most public utilities meet those standards and most Americans can safely drink from the tap.
“Unless you’re experiencing health impacts, you’ve got a notice from your water system or there’s a credible media story saying your water is unsafe, you shouldn’t feel the need to get a filter,” said Gregory Pierce, director of the University of California Los Angeles’ Human Right to Water Solutions Lab. “You’re still welcome to because it might make your water taste a little bit better, but it shouldn’t be considered necessary to have a water filter in 90-plus percent of the United States.”
Sally Crawford Duplantier did not originally set out to become a gerontologist. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a Rockette but she didn’t have the dancing skills or the height. Growing up in an era when women were expected to become nurses or teachers, she followed a traditional path at first, earning a degree in education and working as a special education teacher. Corporate training followed, then an entrepreneurial leap: at 28, she founded a technology training and business process consulting firm, which she successfully led for 25 years before selling the company and “retiring” for the first time.
But retirement never quite fit. After a stint in leadership development and another attempt to step away from work, Duplantier found herself at age 66 in 2019 looking closely at her own aging— and at the very different trajectories of the people around her. Why were some aging with vitality while others struggled, despite seemingly similar circumstances? She sensed lifestyle choices were part of the answer, but she wanted more than intuition. She wanted evidence.
That curiosity, and a willingness to reinvent herself late in life, launched what she calls her “third act.” Duplantier went back to school, first earning a certificate in Nutrition Science from Stanford. After discovering that she “still had it” as a student—and realizing how much she had always loved learning— she continued her education at the University of Southern California, where she completed a Master of Science in Gerontology. From there, she pursued a graduate certificate in qualitative research at Indiana University and is now a doctoral student in public health there.
Duplantier has already published multiple peer-
reviewed papers—an impressive feat for any researcher, and especially striking given that she accomplished it before earning her doctorate. She now mentors interns and early-career professionals, guiding them through the painstaking process of designing studies. “I love mentoring others,” she reflects. “There’s more in me—and I want others to discover there’s more in them, too.”
Email: sally@myzinglife.com Website: myzinglife.com
Her research interests sit at the intersection of aging, brain health, and caregiving. She is an active member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and is deeply engaged with the question of why some individuals age more robustly than others. In one study, she explored the barriers and facilitators of caregiver health and well-being, even turning interview transcripts into “participant-voiced poems”. The goal was not just to describe their burden in numbers, but to honor their lived experience.
Duplantier also challenges cultural myths about aging. She is outspoken about the $50-billion anti-aging industry, which she believes sends the harmful message that aging is a failure to be corrected. Her favorite hashtag—“never too old”— captures both her personal philosophy and her professional message.
Beyond the academy, Duplantier is a builder of community. Through her platform Zing, she hosts “Wellness Wednesdays,” a longrunning, evidence-based webinar series on healthy aging that has reached thousands of participants across more than 50 countries. Recognizing that learning is not just topdown, she recently launched “Community Conversations,” a quarterly, subscriber-based gathering where older adults come together to speak honestly about the realities of aging—the joys, the losses, the humor, and the discomfort. These sessions, which she facilitates herself, are based on social learning theory: participants learn not only from information, but from each other.
Ask Duplantier what she hopes people remember most, and her answer is simple: kindness and courage. Kindness, she believes, is a daily practice available to everyone, including older adults who may underestimate their own impact. Courage, especially for leaders in healthcare and aging, means stepping outside comfort zones to challenge the status quo and build systems that truly support older adults and their families.

SAT, MARCH 14TH
MARCH 15TH
BY MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Writer
The hunky, sweet hero in the new romantic drama “Reminders of Him” at one point turns to the movie’s heroine and tells her: “I’m starting to wonder if you’re the saddest girl I’ve never met.” It’s hard to argue.
First, she’s a penniless former prison inmate who has returned to her small town of Laramie, Wis., where she’s hooking up with her former boyfriend’s best friend. Second, that boyfriend is dead and she’s been blamed, hence the prison sentence. Plus, she’s hoping to connect with her estranged daughter, born of tragedy.
There’s a lot going on with Kenna Rowan, who can’t afford a phone or a car and so walks everywhere around the town, lives in a run-down motel and can’t initially get a job because she’s a felon. She hates listening to the radio because all the songs are sad. Pot calling the kettle, right?
Faithful adaptation
“Reminders of Him” is very faithful to Colleen Hoover’s 2022 novel of the same name, right down to slices of the same dialogue and even the Mountain Dew T-shirt, jean shorts and boots our heroine is first introduced in. She finally gets a job as a grocery bagger and
starts building a life, biding her time until she figures out how to reconnect with her daughter.
Maika Monroe — a one-time scream queen — stretches out her dramatic muscles to play Kenna and nails the assignment, a woman with a hard shell who is looking for a little grace, a tricky role that’s both flirty and maternal.
After seven years in prison, Kenna walks into a fraught situation. Her 5-year-old daughter — yeah, the math is a bit hazy here — is being raised by her dead boyfriend’s parents, with an assist from his best friend, Ledger, played with real soul by Tyriq Withers.

Kenna’s mere presence threatens to blow up this cozy arrangement.
Stuck in the middle
What’s remarkable about “Reminders of Him” is that there are no villains. The grandparents — played by Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford, both perfect — are naturally aghast at the notion that the woman who was driving the car when their son died might swoop in and take their grandchild. But any parent can sympathize with Kenna, who gave birth in handcuffs and never got to even hold her baby. Ledger is caught in the middle, attracted to this sad Kenna but also a
fierce defender and surrogate father of her daughter, Diem. Falling in love with the lady accused of killing your best friend may not be the wisest thing to do, but there you go.
The movie veers dangerously close to overwrought melodrama — like a line about Kenna “heading back to the place it all went wrong hoping to make something right” — and it flirts with twee: Not many grocery store baggers spend their off-time dancing at dusk with sparklers.
But that’s what happens when you add romance to a redemption story and the actors pull it off. It is a thoughtful production where details matter.
At one point we learn the dead boyfriend’s favorite color is yellow and later we hear not one but two versions of Coldplay’s “Yellow.” There may be a few too many shots of an orange Ford F-150 and heavy use of a strummy acoustic guitar whenever a tender moment is coming, but “Reminders of Him” is a well-crafted, well-acted sad-happy Hoover adaptation.
Release info
“Reminders of Him,” a Universal Pictures release that opens in theaters today, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association for sexual content, strong language, drug content, some violent content and brief partial nudity. Running time: 114 minutes.
Get a chance to hold an Oscar before the concert!
The “KPop Demon Hunters” hit “Golden” has been performed quite a few times over the past few months. Singers EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami have made stops at Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon’s shows, the Brit Awards and even the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. But when they take the stage at the Oscars on Sunday, it won’t just be their, well, usual song and dance.
The producers behind the 98th Academy Awards have set out to celebrate not just the song, but the cultural phenomenon of the film itself. That logic is why the only other nominated song that will get a moment on the broadcast is “I Lied to You,” from “Sinners,” a blockbuster hit and the most-nominated film of all time.
“We have two really unique stories that are going to be celebrated on the stage,” said Oscars executive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor. “They’re bigger than just the songs. They’re really about filmmaking and craft.”
Conan O’Brien returns Kapoor and executive producer Katy Mullan, who won Emmys for their work on the 96th Oscars, have been toiling for months putting together Sunday’s show, which will see the return of host Conan O’Brien.
“His humor, his tone, his reverence to the art form? He really cares about making this a true celebration,” Mullan said. “We’ve been in tears of laugher … There are so many great moments that he’s going to bring to the show.”
One of the themes of the show this year is the human touch, Kapoor said, from the set design to the packages.
“It’s really the story of how we feel this connection and how this heartbeat of cinema is unmistakably human,” Kapoor said. “Hopefully the entire show and how Conan makes you feel and all of it is like it’s all touched by human hands and human creativity.”
New casting award
The show is bringing back its “fab five” treatment, first used to spotlight the acting nominees in 2024, then costume and cinematography in 2025. This year, it’ll be for the new casting award.
“Because it’s a new award, we are going to celebrate that with a moment where we not only have incredible stars talking about the nominees, but also giving us context and some insight into

what casting directors do,” Mullan said. “We’re going see a lot of stars that people love on that stage talking about the fabulous nominees this year.”
Should a ‘BAFTA moment’ happen
The people who produce the Oscars know firsthand how live broadcasts can lead to unexpected moments, good and bad. Just a few weeks ago, the global discourse turned to the British Academy Film Awards, not because of any big speeches or performances but because of a racial slur shouted by a Tourette syndrome campaigner while “Sinners” stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting an award.
While the Oscars producers didn’t go into specific details about how they would have handled that situation, after incidents from the slap to the best picture envelope mistake, they stressed that they feel prepared to address any manner of issues on the show.
“We have really strong protocols in place to address issues on our show, any kind of issues,” Mullan said. “We do a lot planning to make sure that those are in place. We work with the network and with the academy to make sure that we are as prepped as we can be to go into the show and have those protocols and that everybody understands them.”
Stars and surprises
As always, the producers want to keep an element of surprise. There have been lots of starry presenters announced, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Javier Bardem, Maya Rudolph and Anne Hathaway, but they hope to keep even more under wraps until the show.
“If you saw the list of people that are going to be on the stage, it is literally jaw-dropping. And there’s people that have not been on the stage in an extremely long time,” Kapoor said. “I think our show is going to constantly, throughout the entire evening, have those moments that absolutely surprise.”

tigating how the boy got onto the playground. The boy was detained and transferred to clinicians from Pacific Clinics, which is Santa Clara County’s juvenile mental health services provider.
The boy will not face prosecution because, due to state law, children under the age of 12 can only be prosecuted for five specific types of crimes, murder and sexual assault.
Supe’s statement
Mountain View Whisman School District Superintendent Jeff Baier sent out a letter to families after the incident. He said the injured girl was recovering and the district’s priority is making sure students and district employees feel safe and cared for. He said students and families can reach out to counselors for support.
the document immediately after it was approved. The school board approved the document on Feb. 10, meaning it should have been available to the public following the Feb. 10 school board meeting.
Supe out days later
The document had the signatures of then-Superintendent Don Austin, then-chief of staff Trent Bahadursingh, then-HR Director Lisa Hickey and a signature line for “Palo Alto Unified School District,” without naming a person who would sign for the district.
A few days after the school board approved the settlement, Austin stepped down in what was described as a “mutual agreement.” He has been replaced on a temporary basis by Bahadursingh. Among the claims in Colombo’s lawsuit was that the district botched the investigation into the alleged sex assault, denying him of his due process rights.
The settlement document says:
• Colombo cannot return to school district property and he cannot serve as a coach, regardless of whether he is paid or unpaid. In addition to his job as a middle school PE teacher, he had been a coach at Palo Alto High School.
• Colombo agrees not to sue current or former school board members, but it only identifies one member by name, Ken Dauber, who served on the board from November 2014 until November 2022. However, in his lawsuit, Colombo said he was the target of a conspiracy by a handful of individuals including Dauber’s wife, Stanford law school professor and activist Michele.
School district officials refused to say how much they agreed to pay Colombo to settle the suit. But on Feb. 14, the Post checked the website of Colombo’s attorney, Evan C. Nelson of Walnut Creek, and the settlement had been added to the page where he lists cases he won.
town decided to hear Caltrans’ proposal rather than ignore it and allow someone else to develop the property.
Caltrans is waiting for a response from the town on whether it wants to purchase, Savaree said on Tuesday. But Mayor Brian Dombowksi estimated the price for the land will be unattainable for the town.
The pricetag for the property was not mentioned during the meeting. However, a 1.25 acre lot near Interstate 280 is being sold for $648,000 on Zillow.
Caltrans is offering the property to the town after state Sen. Josh Becker and former Mayor Chris Shaw asked the state to donate the land so the town could build housing for local workers.
What about previous promises?
“Continuing to pursue this will alienate both the town’s east side residents and our neighbors,” resident Danielle Dearborn said.
Dearborn said council should uphold its promise previously made to residents that future projects would be considered in the downtown area.
Not holding a public meeting regarding the offer is disconcerting, Dearborn said.
Resident Wendy Buckley said she was shocked that council members were discussing purchasing the land because it would burden residents in the area more after the town listed Canada College as part of its housing element.
Upset about another location
Residents are also opposed to new housing on Raymundo Drive. Raymundo Drive is a dead-end road where residents are already at risk of a fire, resident
Incendiary internal messages in which a Live Nation employee mocks customers as “so stupid” and says the company is “robbing them blind, baby” have been made public as over two dozen states weigh whether to continue their antitrust trial against the entertainment giant and its subsidiary Ticketmaster.
Proposed concepts, inspired by the local area, resulted in four themes: the grove, the meadow, the orchard and the garden. All park concepts would take up parking plazas one, two and three, Carnesecca said – though in some designs, changes were only made to two of the three parking plazas. The plazas were initially identified as preferred locations for the park project last year.
as the name suggests, includes richly-planted spaces, places for rest and introduced topography-integrated play areas.
The government lawyers wrote that the statements should be part of the trial because they are “candid, internal messages” in which Ben Baker “calls fans ‘so stupid,’ explains that he ‘gouge(s)’ them, and brags that Live Nation is ‘robbing them blind, baby.’”
a downtown park and instead in support of upgrading existing parks and adding parks where there are none currently.
K arthik Kumar, a Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) representative, said the concepts were informed by community engagement the planning consultant company and city staff conducted. MIG representative Noé Noyola said the engagement process included “more than 1,000 conversations, roughly” with community members.
The messages from late 2021 through early 2023 on the online work messaging platform Slack were highlighted Wednesday in a filing by government lawyers released in the public court record. The lawyers insist the messages should be evidence in the week-old trial in Manhattan federal court against Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
At the trial, lawyers for the federal government and 39 states and the District of Columbia say Live Nation and Ticketmaster were squelching competition and driving up prices for fans through threats, retaliation and other tactics to “suffocate the competition” by controlling virtually every aspect of the industry, from concert promotion to ticketing. The companies insist that artists, sports teams and venues set prices and decide how tickets are sold.
Sue Poletii said. If any additional housing were built in the area, it would require another road for firefighters, she said.
Engagement included 48 city-hosted community events, which included pop-ups, meetings and workshops. The majority of the engagement included pop-ups that allowed for connection with residents in different areas of the city, including libraries, coffee shops, the Los Altos Farmers Market, the Arts and Wine Festival, Headwest Market and Los Altos High School.
“The housing element identifies sites that are available for potential housing, but it does not guarantee that every site can be ultimately built,” Poletii said.
Staff also attended local group meetings, like those put on by the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce, Los Altos Community Coalition and the local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs.
Resident Kendra Blundell said many people who ride their horses or jog along Raymundo Drive will be affected by more housing due to increased traffic. Councilwoman Jenn Wall said the nights when
The grove, inspired by Los Altos’ Redwood Grove, integrates tall redwoods with the downtown scape. It would include a lawn for gathering, shaded places to sit and introduced topography and naturebased play areas for children.
The meadow, featuring pollinator gardens, would also include a lawn, shaded areas for rest and play areas for children.
Inspired by Los Altos’ orchard history, the orchard concept integrates a programmed orchard with places for rest and gridded geometry. The garden,
The most affordable concept presented was the meadow ($9 million for the park, $27.4 million for parking), followed by the garden ($13.6 million for the park, $32 million for parking), the orchard ($14.4 million for the park, $32.8 million for parking), and the grove ($15.4 million for the park, $62.9 million for underground parking).
In the submission to Judge Arun Subramanian, the lawyers noted that Baker made the statements while he was a regional director of ticketing with responsibility for a large amphitheater in Florida but has since been promoted to head of ticketing for Venue Nation with responsibilities relating to all of Live Nation's venues.
The park would be paid for by funds in the park impact (formerly park in-lieu) budget and potentially a California park grant, Carnesecca said.
They said the employees were discussing Live Nation’s price for access to the VIP area of a show at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa when Baker wrote that the prices are “outrageous,” that “these people are so stupid” and that “I almost feel bad taking advantage of them” before writing, “BAHAHAHAHAHA.”
“I was told by a council member that the park in-lieu fees must be spent downtown. This is not the case – the fund allows for other park improvement projects that still serve our community,” said Los Altos resident Cindy Andrews. “Think park land north in Los Altos, where none exists. Think rehabbing our historic dilapidated Halsey house in Redwood Grove that’s been waiting since 2008 – do not think downtown, where five parks exist within a five-minute walk.”
Live Nation wants the exhibits disqualified from the trial, saying the messages reflect “off-the-cuff banter, not policy” between two personal friends who do not work together.
Council members expressed disinterest in underground parking. Any designs that are created, council members told staff, should provide either netneutral or net-positive parking.
Questions, including concerns related to outreach and the “why” of why a downtown park is needed if community members didn’t first express interest in one dominated public comment.
Councilmember Pete Dailey also expressed concern about old Chinese pistache trees –those vibrant, deciduous trees that bring warm hues to downtown Los Altos during the late fall and early winter months – and instructed them to preserve them.
council discusses the housing element are the hardest. Woodside has been working hard to comply with its housing element requirements for over three years, Wall said.
Woodside made headlines in 2022 after council members tried to exempt themselves from the housing element by saying it is home to mountain lions. Town officials hastily dropped the idea after getting a threatening letter from state Attorney General Rob Bonta.
“This was a study session. We were looking at concepts, not designs,” said Mayor Sally Meadows during the meeting.
“I know they look like designs – I couldn’t do something like that, I would consider it the design if I did that – but it’s a concept. And so that’s what we’re talking about. There’s been no decisions made. This is part of the process. There’s going to be more, more outreach, and so that’s what we’re talking about. There’s been no decisions made.”
More than 20 residents made public comments, the majority of which were against
“The existing environment in downtown Los Altos is priceless. Every year I see hundreds of families come downtown to take their pictures with the old pistache trees and the way they turn color, everything is just priceless. The concept of having a threestory parking garage and having a theater downtown breaks my heart,” said Los Altos resident Juno Szalay. “I do feel that this is a rush to spend the $19 million that you have in park funds, and wish that those would go towards other parks that we have. We have a grove, we have a meadow, we have a pollinator garden. Seems like we have everything. They are in walking distance within town, also all of the outside dining areas that were set up after COVID provide these areas for families to sit and dine outside, if that’s what they desire.”
