We have a full agenda including one hour with Jenny Carloni, Sunnyvale's Housing Officer on the recently released Housing Strategy Draft.  The Housing Strategy is a pivotal document for housing in Sunnyvale.  The Draft passed the Housing and Human Services Commission last week with a few modified recommendations.  It will be going to City Council on Oct 13 for final approval. Livable Sunnyvale as well as some coalition partners have sent the City initial comments.  Come learn more and help shape the future of development in Sunnyvale for years to come.  During "Soliciting input for Candidates' Forum questions" (15 min), we will be asking folks to input their suggestions for questions to the…

The Active Transportation Plan (ATP), which we've spent the last six months or so engaging with, goes to Council Tuesday, Aug 25. This month, both Livable Sunnyvale and the Democratic Club of Sunnyvale voted to support the BPAC's proposed modifications to the ATP. While staff has agreed to many BPAC suggestions, they have recommended against adopting the lightweight change process. This is a serious problem. Given the inadequate public outreach for the ATP and the rapidly changing conditions we are dealing with, there needs to be a periodic mechanism for the public to propose changes to the ATP going forward. A 10-year plan with no clear modification process simply doesn't make sense.We urge Livable…

Black Lives Matter. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Tony McDade. Rayshard Brooks. Chinedu Okobi.We say their names with broken hearts. Their lives mattered, and we are horrified by their senseless murders at the hands of those sworn to protect them. The legacy of violence against Black people in America dates back more than 400 years, and that of police brutality to the slave patrols. This is not a new or recent problem, and it is not one that can be solved through mild or superficial reforms. We need real change, real justice.Sunnyvale holds a special place in our hearts. And there is much that makes our city unique. But our city is not a…
