In a nutshell; Sunnyvale POS/DPS/SCPD refused to do anything about several active threats that existed outside my residence for many years (some of them police-sponsored active threats) then after submitting a claim form for the illegal ejection from a private business of public accommodations 35 that Sunnyvale POS/DPS refused to take action on (The Oasis Nightclub which is now closed) the City of Sunnyvale retaliated with a non-issue by targeting my 94-year old Father for more prosecutorial harassment; this time threatening prosecution for a government-sanctioned green garbage can with a 19 MPH sign painted on it that I got permission from the City of Sunnyvale for many years ago; and the City of Santa Clara; as all of the signage on my street is there due to my valiant efforts...Adding to this; a safety cone that helps remind people to slow down on our street and protects my cats from getting run over easily was sighted as being a problem by Sunnyvale Public Works after me suggesting to other Public Works employees about making the street safer... This Public Works employee wrote a letter telling me he can steal my safety cones any time he wants... In other words; the usual: tying my hands and leaving a festering problem in a grossly negligent manner; as a bicyclist had been run over and killed on Dunford Way last summer (which brought a million cop cars yet no obligatory obsessive media coverage -- why did the local TV nes media ignore this story; helping to cover it up?) therefore attempting to get me to move the safety cone (as small and insignificant as it seems to some who view themselves as being 'in control' of this Silicon Valley mess) was actually a HUGE deal... Not only due to the various aforementioned reasons; but also due to the fact that the City of Sunnyvale has a history of messing with the elderly to get their way...For instance; one of the two brothers who used to own the Corn Palace parcel said that the City of Sunnyvale was so intent on developing his land (which they are finally developing right as the demand for housing is decreasing exponentially) that the City of Sunnyvale allegedly gave him a heart attack (or almost did; I cannot remember exactly) the main point being the City of Sunnyvale has no respect for their elderly population; willing to abuse their prosecutorial harassment on frail stroke victims like my 94-year old Dad just to retaliate against me... And the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety went against their core mission of "public safety" by telling me to remove a government-sanctioned green garbage can with 19 MPH written on the side of it (when Dunford Way is actually Santa Clara jurisdiction) and POS/DPS standing behind Sunnyvale Public Works didn't help things...And these actions caused an immense amount of emotional distress for the entire family at the time...So all it did was make things worse...But government in general is an 'Emotional Distress Machine' (EDM) of sorts; so good luck getting government to care about the turmoil they cause within people's lives without the help of a good lawyer who knows how to twist their insurance companies' arm the right way... Like I said before; for many years police took zero action for active threats existing outside my residence (causing my financial fall) and sometimes government/police-sponsored active threats ~ then turned around and wanted to talk about a safety cone and a green garbage can reminding people to slow down to 19 MPH after many late-1990s meetings with the the City of Santa Clara's Traffic Engineering Department...

This was already going on; as the liberal democrats who generally run this region seem to think they can endlessly cram more and more people into this overcrowded region to the point where almost everyone is struggling; and especially those with increasingly expensive rental housing that steals their pensions... So this has already been the desperate trend in this region; to get too many tops spinning at once in an unsustainable fashion to the point where they eventually all crash -- causing us all to start over... It happened after the dot com bust in the late 1990s; which lasted until roughly 2008 when the region was revved up again; only to crash once again after the Covid-19 situation...And the long-term effects of the pre-2008 era are the regions' homeless population...So if that is what is left over from 2008; imagine what we are facing now with so many people losing their businesses as Gavin Newsom keeps his winery open? In other words; Covid-19 just added countless more individuals to that list of desperate individuals...But it's looking like at least some of the Covid-19 data was incorrect; so we may have done all of this for nothing -- destroying countless lives in the process and making the State of California (CA) etc liable for the losses... (Ultimately China is actually responsible for the losses; but the actions of CA made it worse...) We all probably need to be more careful during cold and flu season for our own health and the health of others -- for the sake of the elderly and those who are vulnerable; and especially me because I take care of my 94 year old Dad who had a stroke recently...I was doing that anyway before all of this... But I am afraid that most of us went a bit too far this year with our reaction; mainly out of fear and ignorance regarding the true danger of the situation...And there is gonna be Hell to pay for this big mess; but the US is out of money and has been for awhile now; and Hell doesn't take credit cards...And China now owns our credit card debt along with many other things so right now China is winning the this game of international chess... https://www.yahoo.com/news/im-looking-truth-states-face-100035918.html On Saturday, May 23, 2020, 10:03:39 PM PDT, super nova <galaxy_454@yahoo.com> wrote: BTW: Changing the subject; I went to Grocery Outlet in Santa Clara yesterday and a tall cashier named Amanda (who I'm pretty sure is transsexual) was at a closed register right after the boss had left when there was 3's a crowd in line (there was actually about 15 people in line) I had come in earlier for some items and mentioned to the manager that some plants by the front door were wilting and needed watering; so maybe add a little B1 to some water to de-stress them... Then when I came back a few hours later for some Valerian Root to help me sleep; like I said there was a long line and Amanda was at a closed register...I suggested that Amanda open the line; making her angry -- asking the first person in the long line to be served first; which is actually what I 38 wanted because she was trying to make me look selfish...Then the first person in line saw that I only had one item and let me go first; angering Amanda even further...Amanda then said very loudly for all to hear: "Get out of my face" and went on for about a minute later with more verbally abusive comments... So I figured I would go back soon and tell the manager; so today I returned and instead spoke to someone who had always been very nice; telling her essentially that I have had the same job for 35+ years at least partially because I am courteous to all people along the way no matter whether I like them or not; and/or whether they are being mean to me or not...I am a wise elder who you need to listen to because I know all about life is what I told her; because I am...I have dealt with enough mean-spirited people in my life and been all over the world with a rock band so I know how to snap back at idiots to shut them down... I just wait until I am on my blog to snap back at corrupt cops due to the inherent duress involved...I am not necessarily afraid; I am just not stupid and this is my way of outsmarting their shit... ACLU apps take this all one step further; I should have used that app when dealing with Ochoa and Smith and many other crooked cops I have dealt with along the way... Anyway; I told the clerk maybe her and the girls at the other registers who heard these abusive languages should sit her down and have a little talk with Amanda to set her straight (you now what I mean)... Just then; Nia and African-American lady from Big Lots walked up and said hello to me...She obviously overheard our conversation and intervened with her usual beautiful self...She was always very gracious when she worked at Big Lots; and I even gave her a Roberta Flack CD when I was on a big Robert Flack kick awhile back...And I mentioned how gracious Nia always was when working at Big Lots to the clerk I was speaking to... Nia and I exchanged a few more kind words; showing the clerk I had spoken to through example the "way to be"; and we went our separate ways...And it's like Nia was there at that moment for a reason...Like she is some kind of protector spirit or something with the positive energy that was needed to defuse the situation... But if the abuse continues; I will record with it with my ACLU app on witness mode and take it from there...Or maybe talk to her boss...We'll see...And the state of California attempting to stop people from video recording their abuse is yet another form of abuse which essentially obstructs justice in the process -- as those who are violating your rights effectively nullify their owns rights in the process... Either way something must be done because the mainstream media's usual half-truthed perspective is either ignoring my other side of this reality; or perhaps they are even causing it and exacerbating it as well...

That is a ridiculous notion. As in the justice system; evidence must first be discovered and presented for any allegation to become a reality -- and the same goes for theoretical scientific observation. Maybe our obsession with numbers and mile-long mathematical calculations to find answers is part of this multi-dimensional problem -- perhaps wrongfully assuming there needs to be a zero starting point for everything. But zero can also express the circle of infinity and/or limitless, infinite, innumerable space as expressed in my simple Algebraic equation: x + y = 0. In other words; the center of the spatial universe is everywhere... In light of this; it should seem obvious that the terms macro and micro are entirely relative and based upon our own particular limited human perspectives and/or relative size as humans. Therefore the macroscopic reality of Quantum Entanglement merged with the microscopic reality of Quantum Mechanics can finally be unified and/or consolidated as everything is just a scale model of everything else. (explaining why 100 light years is really like and inch or less depending due to the sheer innumerable and/or limitless size of endless space) If an elementary particle can be endlessly halved without disappearing ~ then conversely perhaps entire universes can emanate from seemingly invisible elementary particles and/or 'nothing'... 41 Perhaps explaining the theoretical 'nothingness' the universe came from to begin with. Quantum gravity has a tendency to compact matter and/or energy into black holes (much like a trash compactor and/or an highly compacted 'unzipped' computer file) while supernovas alternately release highly condensed energy and/or matter. And like a star that goes supernova; a big bang event is perhaps just a very large macro level supernova star emanation event. Perhaps there are giant distant stars that are out of our observational realm that go supernova and create entire universes.

In a nutshell; Sunnyvale POS/DPS/SCPD refused to do anything about several active threats that existed outside my residence for many years (some of them police-sponsored active threats) then after submitting a claim form for the illegal ejection from a private business of public accommodations   49 that Sunnyvale POS/DPS refused to take action on (The Oasis Nightclub which is now closed) the City of Sunnyvale retaliated with a non-issue by targeting my 94-year old Father for more prosecutorial harassment; this time threatening prosecution for a government-sanctioned green garbage can with a 19 MPH sign painted on it that I got permission from the City of Sunnyvale for many years ago; and the City of Santa Clara; as all of the signage on my street is there due to my valiant efforts...Adding to this; a safety cone that helps remind people to slow down on our street and protects my cats from getting run over easily was sighted as being a problem by Sunnyvale Public Works after me suggesting to other Public Works employees about making the street safer... This Public Works employee wrote a letter telling me he can steal my safety cones any time he wants... In other words; the usual: tying my hands and leaving a festering problem in a grossly negligent manner; as a bicyclist had been run over and killed on Dunford Way last summer (which brought a million cop cars yet no obligatory obsessive media coverage -- why did the local TV nes media ignore this story; helping to cover it up?) therefore attempting to get me to move the safety cone (as small and insignificant as it seems to some who view themselves as being 'in control' of this Silicon Valley mess) was actually a HUGE deal... Not only due to the various aforementioned reasons; but also due to the fact that the City of Sunnyvale has a history of messing with the elderly to get their way...For instance; one of the two brothers who used to own the Corn Palace parcel said that the City of Sunnyvale was so intent on developing his land (which they are finally developing right as the demand for housing is decreasing exponentially) that the City of Sunnyvale allegedly gave him a heart attack (or almost did; I cannot remember exactly) the main point being the City of Sunnyvale has no respect for their elderly population; willing to abuse their prosecutorial harassment on frail stroke victims like my 94-year old Dad just to retaliate against me... And the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety went against their core mission of "public safety" by telling me to remove a government-sanctioned green garbage can with 19 MPH written on the side of it (when Dunford Way is actually Santa Clara jurisdiction) and POS/DPS standing behind Sunnyvale Public Works didn't help things...And these actions caused an immense amount of emotional distress for the entire family at the time...So all it did was make things worse...But government in general is an 'Emotional Distress Machine' (EDM) of sorts; so good luck getting government to care about the turmoil they cause within people's lives without the help of a good lawyer who knows how to twist their insurance companies' arm the right way... Like I said before; for many years police took zero action for active threats existing outside my residence (causing my financial fall) and sometimes government/police-sponsored active threats ~ then turned around and wanted to talk about a safety cone and a green garbage can reminding people to slow down to 19 MPH after many late-1990s meetings with the the City of Santa Clara's Traffic Engineering Department...

This was already going on; as the liberal democrats who generally run this region seem to think they can endlessly cram more and more people into this overcrowded region to the point where almost everyone is struggling; and especially those with increasingly expensive rental housing that steals their pensions... So this has already been the desperate trend in this region; to get too many tops spinning at once in an unsustainable fashion to the point where they eventually all crash -- causing us all to start over... It happened after the dot com bust in the late 1990s; which lasted until roughly 2008 when the region was revved up again; only to crash once again after the Covid-19 situation...And the long-term effects of the pre-2008 era are the regions' homeless population...So if that is what is left over from 2008; imagine what we are facing now with so many people losing their businesses as Gavin Newsom keeps his winery open? In other words; Covid-19 just added countless more individuals to that list of desperate individuals...But it's looking like at least some of the Covid-19 data was incorrect; so we may have done all of this for nothing -- destroying countless lives in the process and making the State of California (CA) etc liable for the losses... (Ultimately China is actually responsible for the losses; but the actions of CA made it worse...) We all probably need to be more careful during cold and flu season for our own health and the health of others -- for the sake of the elderly and those who are vulnerable; and especially me because I take care of my 94 year old Dad who had a stroke recently...I was doing that anyway before all of this...

Then when I came back a few hours later for some Valerian Root to help me sleep; like I said there was a long line and Amanda was at a closed register...I suggested that Amanda open the line; making her angry -- asking the first person in the long line to be served first; which is actually what I 52 wanted because she was trying to make me look selfish...Then the first person in line saw that I only had one item and let me go first; angering Amanda even further...Amanda then said very loudly for all to hear: "Get out of my face" and went on for about a minute later with more verbally abusive comments... So I figured I would go back soon and tell the manager; so today I returned and instead spoke to someone who had always been very nice; telling her essentially that I have had the same job for 35+ years at least partially because I am courteous to all people along the way no matter whether I like them or not; and/or whether they are being mean to me or not...I am a wise elder who you need to listen to because I know all about life is what I told her; because I am...I have dealt with enough mean-spirited people in my life and been all over the world with a rock band so I know how to snap back at idiots to shut them down... I just wait until I am on my blog to snap back at corrupt cops due to the inherent duress involved...I am not necessarily afraid; I am just not stupid and this is my way of outsmarting their shit... ACLU apps take this all one step further; I should have used that app when dealing with Ochoa and Smith and many other crooked cops I have dealt with along the way... Anyway; I told the clerk maybe her and the girls at the other registers who heard these abusive languages should sit her down and have a little talk with Amanda to set her straight (you now what I mean)... Just then; Nia and African-American lady from Big Lots walked up and said hello to me...She obviously overheard our conversation and intervened with her usual beautiful self...She was always very gracious when she worked at Big Lots; and I even gave her a Roberta Flack CD when I was on a big Robert Flack kick awhile back...And I mentioned how gracious Nia always was when working at Big Lots to the clerk I was speaking to... Nia and I exchanged a few more kind words; showing the clerk I had spoken to through example the "way to be"; and we went our separate ways...And it's like Nia was there at that moment for a reason...Like she is some kind of protector spirit or something with the positive energy that was needed to defuse the situation... But if the abuse continues; I will record with it with my ACLU app on witness mode and take it from there...Or maybe talk to her boss...We'll see...And the state of California attempting to stop people from video recording their abuse is yet another form of abuse which essentially obstructs justice in the process -- as those who are violating your rights effectively nullify their owns rights in the process...

That is a ridiculous notion. As in the justice system; evidence must first be discovered and presented for any allegation to become a reality -- and the same goes for theoretical scientific observation. Maybe our obsession with numbers and mile-long mathematical calculations to find answers is part of this multi-dimensional problem -- perhaps wrongfully assuming there needs to be a zero starting point for everything. But zero can also express the circle of infinity and/or limitless, infinite, innumerable space as expressed in my simple Algebraic equation: x + y = 0. In other words; the center of the spatial universe is everywhere... In light of this; it should seem obvious that the terms macro and micro are entirely relative and based upon our own particular limited human perspectives and/or relative size as humans. Therefore the macroscopic reality of Quantum Entanglement merged with the microscopic reality of Quantum Mechanics can finally be unified and/or consolidated as everything is just a scale model of everything else. (explaining why 100 light years is really like and inch or less depending due to the sheer innumerable and/or limitless size of endless space) If an elementary particle can be endlessly halved without disappearing ~ then conversely perhaps entire universes can emanate from seemingly invisible elementary particles and/or 'nothing'... 55 Perhaps explaining the theoretical 'nothingness' the universe came from to begin with. Quantum gravity has a tendency to compact matter and/or energy into black holes (much like a trash compactor and/or an highly compacted 'unzipped' computer file) while supernovas alternately release highly condensed energy and/or matter. And like a star that goes supernova; a big bang event is perhaps just a very large macro level supernova star emanation event. Perhaps there are giant distant stars that are out of our observational realm that go supernova and create entire universes.

It could be large and service the whole area from San Jose, and be connected from the Bay’s east side by ferries from Oakland and points in between.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Palo Alto City Council, My family have been residents of Palo Alto for more than 6 decades. We reside in the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood. Like most Palo Alto city residents, I have been sheltering in place and telecommuting since March, as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions. I am writing to ask you to consider a temporary adjustment to the hours for construction and gardening in Palo Alto residential neighborhoods until the COVID-19 restrictions are fully lifted. I understand construction/gardening hours are currently six days per week, Monday through Saturday, until 6 pm. Since construction and gardening have resumed a few weeks ago, the increased noise in the neighborhood contributes to rising anxiety and decreased efficiency for telecommuting, during a time that is already very challenging and stressful. I live next door to a house undergoing major construction, with another lot under construction nearby as well. Loud construction noise is ongoing during the permissible 6-day per week schedule, with no relief in sight. During this period when we are all required to spend more time at home, I ask you to order that all construction and loud gardening (e.g., leaf blowing and tree branch chipping/shredding) at any one residential site be limited to no more than 4 hour per day, with no work on Saturdays. Such an order would still allow construction workers or gardeners to work full time, provided they alternate between sites Monday through Friday. At the same time, it would offer partial relief to neighbors trying to work or study from home, many with children at home as well. I hope you will put this issue on the agenda for a prompt decision, taking into consideration the wellbeing of all Palo Alto residents.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear City Council, Before I ask the question, I would like to give you some background information, even though it's probably irrelevant. My sisters have immigrated here(with green cards) two, three years ago and all of us share one house. One sister is a home maker with California reseller license. Another sister used to work part time as a care giver before the covid-19 shutdown. We have four boys going to school. After the lock down, one sister, the part time care giver, has lost the part time job. Through Chinese community, they have found out they can distribute fresh produce(mainly vegetables) once a week at home from farmers to nearby Chinese residents as it has been hard to go to the grocery stores. The profit margin is only 5-10% and they will report this income on their tax return but I am sure that's irrelevant as well.:) Can you please let me know if this is permitted and if any license they should obtain or any regulations they should follow? Thank you for your time and help.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Councilmembers,    Thank you for your leadership in this difficult time.    Like more and more of us, I am concerned about the Santa Clara County Health Department and its performance during  the covid crisis.     It has been two and half months since lockdown, and we are lagging behind other Bay Area Counties and target  benchmarks on both testing and contact tracing. The Department has managed to hire less than 100 tracers out of 1000  needed in all that time (initially, they were looking for "volunteers" with medical degrees to commit to 25+ hours per  week for 6 months! Now, several people I know have applied and have heard nothing for days). There is still no efficient,  coordinated testing network or clear communication about how the County is ramping up testing and who is eligible  (can my family get tested? Not clear). The Department has also not developed a coherent, data driven approach to the  relative risks of various activities. Director Sara Cody has publicly stated that the Dept. has no reliable data about how  the disease is spreading in County.    Further, Cody's strong reluctance to loosen lockdown measures goes against the positions of our State and most other  jurisdictions nation‐ and worldwide. In the months since jurisdictions started to loosen, almost all have seen decreasing  to flat case numbers, with only a few increasing slowly and none experiencing exponential growth. Nevertheless Cody  continues to insist publicly that "nothing has changed" since early March and that all jurisdictions going against her  protocols risk exponential growth. With all due respect, virtually everything has changed. On March 8, I was at a group  event with 150+ attendees; life was normal. Now, lockdown or not, attitudes and behaviors are totally different  everywhere, including our County.    We are continually urged by County leadership to "follow the science." Well, this must include all branches of science.  There is growing consensus among economists (such as World Bank president David Malpass) and doctors (such as  Anthony Fauci) that extended strict lockdown results in a greater toll than covid itself (deaths from other causes,  extreme poverty, domestic abuse, mental health, high unemployment, etc.) As you know, looming budget cuts already  threaten many City and State programs essential to public health and well‐being. Every week of lockdown further  decimates our economy including tax revenue and the capability of many businesses, large and especially small, to  recover.     The County Executive's office and the County Supervisors refuse to take action, and yet, we all need the Health Dept to  do a better job in testing, tracing, and risk evaluation. Also, Cody's maverick stance to continue to prioritize total covid  suppression at the expense of any other considerations must be questioned. We are thankful for her quick action in  March, but the situation has evolved. Like many others, I have emailed and the Health Department and County  Executives repeatedly on these issues to no avail.    Palo Alto can help. Please consider joining together with other Cities to get our County's leadership to listen and make  changes. Perhaps Governor Newsom and the State might provide support and assistance in bringing our County more in  line with State guidelines and recommendations. I believe there is sympathy to this cause among other Cities'  18 leadership. Furthermore, please consider defunding/declining enforcement of Santa Clara County Health Dept's special  rules in favor of the State Expanded Phase 2 rules.     Thank you for your time and consideration,  Dennis Wilkinson  19 Baumb, Nelly From:Christine Stones <christines18@icloud.com> Sent:Saturday, May 30, 2020 11:13 AM To:Council, City Subject:It’s not fair.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Hi Palo Alto City Council, Thank you for all you do to keep our county safe. I was born and raised in the Bay Area. And now I live nearby, Sunnyvale, It's hard to watch Sara Cody ruin my home day by day. I'm writing to you now to ask for you help to reduce Sara Cody's impact on Santa Clara County. Her lockdown is destroying us. While the rest of CA is opening up, Santa Clara County lags behind. We clearly meet the state metrics for expanded stage 2, and it would be great to start living, educate our kids, and give our local shops some real business. All my communication to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors has fallen on deaf ears. Those who have responded have told me that they are incapable of overruling Cody's restrictions. Please use any power that you have to refuse to enforce or fund her restrictions. Placer, Modoc, and Yuba counties did that, as well as several in southern California. Even today we found out that LA is opening. Since Cody is crushing our economy and education, we really have no choice but to work past her. Let's use CA guidelines direct our reopening process and pace. Any chance you saw the article in the Chronicle this week? It's clear that the elderly and sick are the most vulnerable. We knew that. We can protect them and get society running again, so that when this is over, there actually is a society to return to. Please help stop Sara Cody. There is no reason economic, educational, and social policy should be dictated by an epidemiologist.

            Four paragraphs up from the bottom, he says that three things are causing a dramatic increase in the number of  pts. who get off ventilators and get out of the ICU:                         1)  Remdesivir. It has reduced hospital stays by 40% and reduced the death rate by 30%.                          2) The injection of convalescent plasma.                        3)  Ways to help breathing.                      He says that "the outcome is much better now than if you got sick several months ago"  LH‐ At least at USC.  Is  Kaiser ready with remdesivir and convalesent plasma?                 Suggestion: The government should pay people significantly who have recovered from Covid19 to donate their  convalescent plasma. It would be cheaper than burying the dead.  Let's have a federal program to do that!               Side note, and not so BTW:  KCBS today reeled off the results of surveys showing that most Americans still favor  shelter in place, essential outings only, social distancing and the use of masks, working from home, essential travel only,  etc. 60%, 70% are for some or all of that. Certain folks at City Hall in Fresno, Ca. talked a week or so ago about how  people are scared, worried, angry, etc, because of the shut‐down. Certain of those folks are Jerry Dyer, Fresno's Mayor‐ elect. Jerry, look at the surveys. I'm not sure who you are hearing from, but the data show that most Americans are NOT  all chomping at the bit to get out there. The Republican business owners here and in most places are eager to open up,  but try to cite public opinion a little more accurately. There are guys wearing their baseball caps backwards, waiving Nazi  flags and packing automatic weapons yelling in front of State houses, but, as you know, that is not the bulk of the  American people.    24                In Sonona County, Calif., north of SF Bay, the Co. Sheriff has announced that he will not enforce the social  distancing, etc. requirements laid down by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors.  KCBS interviewed him. He said  that some of the dictates are inconsistent and confusing. So the Co. Board, on advice of its Co. medical director, issues  rules and the Co. Sheriff says he won't enforce them.                 Last night PBS News Hour had a piece re. working from home. Maybe 20% of employees will continue to do so  after the pandemic. That is a big change! Tonight, the program will explore the impact that will have on the commercial  real estate industry.  I'll email links to both programs tomorrow.  It says that some studies show that employees are  more productive working from home. I'll just observe that a big increase in working from home would improve the  horrific housing crisis in the Bay Area and the horrific traffic problem there as well.                                    L. William Harding               Fresno, Ca.                   25 Baumb,

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. I write as a resident and as an economist involved with several public agencies in assessing the duration of the downturn and reopening plans. A very selective and experimental opening have triple benefits. It helps small businesses that might not survive much long--WHICH IS WHY THE NOW PART IS CRITICAL. We have seen a nation wait too long to address COVID. Let us be a leader in caring and speed. It helps residents by making it easier to dine out and shop safely. And it helps the workers who will be rehired. I envision more safe seating space for restaurants and more space for retailers who can now use a wider safe sidewalk/street area to serve customers. As an economist I add 1) the recovery will be slow if we cannot find ways like shared streets to increase reopening capacity. 2) the slower recovery will harm the most vulnerable and lower paid workers the most as they staff the small businesses we want to help 3) PA will fall behind other cities who see shared streets as a competitive advantage. I listened to the SPUR San Jose policy board discuss San Jose's plans for shared streets. They call them BUSINESS RECOVERY ZONES. I like that. So let's put doubts aside (we can adjust in real time), put the PA process on hold so businesses will not fail while we ponder and MOVE NOW thanks Steve 31 Baumb, Nelly From:Evan Wilson <evanwilliamswilson@gmail.com> Sent:Thursday, May 28, 2020 9:23 PM To:Council, City Subject:Library curbside service CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Amos Tversky   CHURCHILL GRADE SEPARATION, THE PARTIAL UNDERPASS AND A 4th Idea THE PARTIAL UNDERPASS Would be a big problem for me. I use Churchill to make left turns on to Alma going South. The Partial Underpass blocks left turns. Only right turns allowed when heading west on Churchill. Right turns onto Alma are easy at any cross street. Construction would halt traffic on Alma. A 4TH IDEA The U-Turn Bay concept works for Charleston and it’s 56 foot width. Then it could work for Churchill with changes made. Churchill is now 36 feet wide and we would need to add 20 feet in width. That’s 10 feet on each side. Property on each side would need to be acquired. CONCEPT FEATURES FOR CARS The round-about would be at Emerson. The underpass for the tracks and Alma would be one lane each way. East of Alma there would be one lane each way next to the underpass to handle cars going west and make either a left or right turn onto Alma. Cars going east coming off Alma can continue east or use the roundabout to go west. CONCEPT FEATURES FOR BIKES AND PEDESTRIANS Bikes and pedestrians would enter a tunnel near the sidewalk on Churchill. The bike and pedestrian path would then drop down and go under the right lane for left and right turns onto Alma. The path would then open next to but above the traffic going under Alma and the tracks. PLAN FEATURES Benefits No viaduct next to homes. People could turn both left and right onto Alma. People could drive straight through Churchill and under both Alma and the tracks at anytime of the day. No more “left-turn only” on school days. Railroad tracks would stay at grade. Jefferson Ave. Underpass in Redwood City PLAN FEATURES DURING CONSTRUCTION Traffic interruption should be minimal for Alma. Box Jacking is a construction technique that allows minimal traffic interruption on both roads and rail lines and can be used to build the underpass for Churchill. Alma would be shutdown for only one weekend. Required modifications to the tracks would be completed at night during off-hours. Churchill would be closed for 6 months for underpass excavation and building the permanent underpass. NEIGHBORHOOD BENEFITS The Ventura and Southgate neighborhoods or those living on the west side of the tracks at Churchill see an upside with the Partial Underpass. They can turn left or right onto Alma and also enter Churchill with ease from Alma. Residents on the east side of Alma have limited movement as only right turns are allowed. The needed solution must benefit those living on both sides of the tracks. THE DECISION Suggest that the final decision for the Churchill Ave. grade separation be delayed while plan details are worked out. 3 Baumb, Nelly From:Orly Liba <orlyle@gmail.com> Sent:Wednesday, June 3, 2020 10:45 AM To:Council, City; Library, Pa; Kanth, Gayathri Subject:Re: Open library for curbside pick up / drop off?

If passed, the future of Mac's Smoke Shop would be endangered. I ask that City Council pass an exemption for Mac's Smoke Shop, an icon of Palo Alto history. In Principle, I fail to see why such a ban is necessary. As a former pipe smoker I can attest to the fact that flavored tobacco in one form or another has been around d for a long time. One could argue in the same breath that liquor should also be banned. But, I digress. I sincerely hope that Council doesn't toss out the baby with the bath water. {;ease make an exemption for Mac's.

Mac’s is, after all, more than just a smoke shop. It’s a newsstand, too. And they sell lottery tickets. My husband has been buying a copy of the Saturday New York Times and a lottery ticket from Mac’s every Saturday, without fail, for the past 30 years. Mac’s is an institution in Palo Alto. Part of Palo Alto’s commercial history. I’d hate for our city to lose this resource. My husband would join me in this appeal, but for the fact that he now has dementia, and while he still wants his Saturday New York Times and the lottery ticket, doesn’t quite understand why Mac’s would be closing. He thinks that would be impossible. It would be something I’d have to explain to him over and over again. Thank you for your consideration of my request. Regards, Kristina P.
