Wow. The ONLY company in the world makingmachines this good: Well worth seeing. About ASML, TSMC, Intel. (4) How ASML, TSMC And Intel Dominate The Chip Market | CNBC Marathon - YouTube ASML's machines run $200 million to $300 million. Co. located in Holland. They sellthose huge machines to companies that make chips, companies like TSMC, Samsung and Intel. Applied Materials, AMAT, is another company that makes machines that go into thefabs. AMAT does not make chips. They make machines that go into chip factories, or fabs. (4) ASML's Secret: An exclusive view from inside the global semiconductor giant | VPRO Documentary - YouTube 53:08 Comprehend and retain all of that and you will have the important basics about the playersin the chip industry, as it stands now. BTW, NVDA is a "fabless chip co.".They do not make chips. They write the software, give it to a co. like xxxxx (this should be TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor ManufacturingCompany, Ltd.) or Samsung, and they make the chips and put NVDA's software in the chip. They ship those back to NVDA and NVDA has product to sell. xxxxx (should say TSMC) and Samsung are called "pure plays". They make chips and putother people's software on them. They do not write software. Intel does both. They create software and then make the chip upon which it goes at their various fabs. BTW, people refer to TSMC as TSMC and also as TSM. The former is an abbreveation ofthe company's name and TSM is its market symbol on stock exchanges. It trades on the NYSE and I think also on the Taiwan stock exchange. L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council Members, The subject situation occurs when tenant (A) builds a parklet in front of a neighboring tenant or property (B) that has not been approved by tenant B and the area used by Tenant A is "no more than half the size of a parking space",potentially10'. Given that parking spaces are 20' long, tenant A could potentially encroach 10' in front of tenant B. This situation is onerous to tenant B as tenant B's total frontage is14' wide of which 10' is encroached upon by Tenant A. Please eliminate encroachments without neighboring approval and also what could become a potentially litigious situation. Thank you.

Take a few minutes to read “A Love Letter to the League” from Stephanie Doute, LWVC Executive Director, “The League was forged in fire - women fighting for their rights.” LWVPA UPDATES LWVPA Virtual Speaker Event SAVE THE DATE Wednesday, April 19, 2023 12:00 - 1:00 pm Featuring our Guest Speaker Professor Michelle Oberman The US Abortion War in 2023: A California Perspective In addition to the flurry of abortion bans enacted in 2022, the US witnessed the highest number of abortion protections ever passed. Fully one-quarter of these were enacted in California. What does it mean to be an abortion-friendly state in a country where almost half of the states have banned abortion or are likely to do so? Professor Oberman is an international expert on the impact of abortion regulation in countries with widely divergent abortion laws. In this talk, she will share findings from her current research in a state where abortion is banned to explore what changes on the ground when U.S. abortion law changes on the books, and to consider how California’s commitment to reproductive justice does (and does not) alter that landscape. BIO: Michelle Oberman, J.D, M.P.H. Katharine and George Alexander Professor of Law Santa Clara University School of Law Professor Oberman is an internationally recognized scholar on a wide range of legal and ethical issues arising at the intersection of sex, pregnancy, motherhood, and criminal law. For the past decade, she has studied the impact of abortion regulation in countries with widely divergent abortion laws. Her work in El Salvador, along with other countries and a range of US jurisdictions, informs her 2018 book, Her Body, Our Laws: On the Frontlines of the Abortion War from El Salvador to Oklahoma. Her current work focuses on what changes on the ground when U.S. abortion law changes on the books. Climate Calls Students Fight Hunger and Climate Change by Hilary Glann According to a recent AP-NORC poll, 64% of Americans say they are “extremely” or “very” worried about the effects of climate change. Not surprisingly, climate change and environmental action are top concerns for millennials and Gen Z. Oscar Anderson and Kai Mirchandani are great examples of youth taking action right in their hometown. Early in 2022, Oscar and Kai noticed an increasing amount of food waste at Palo Alto High School: they saw trash bins full of edible food while across the street, clients at the Opportunity Center suffered from hunger and food insecurity. Since the pandemic, the food- insecurity rate has more than doubled nationally; 33% of our community faces hunger. In April 2022, Oscar and Kai started a program People Plates Planet to reduce food waste and provide nutritious food for our community’s most vulnerable members. The carbon footprint of U.S. food waste is greater than that of the airline industry; more than a third of all food grown for human consumption in the U.S. never makes it to someone’s stomach. The team operates every school day at Paly. As of February 16, 2023, they have donated nearly 2700 pounds of food to the Opportunity Center. Daily statistics are captured on the team’s website: peopleplatesplanet.org/home. “Seeing the counter go up every day and the happy faces at the Opportunity Center is a constant reminder that we are making a difference, in both serving the community and fighting climate change,” said Oscar. “We educate Paly students about the significance of food waste. We also help them realize that they have the power to make a difference by simply donating their unwanted food or bringing any non-perishable food items from home for those suffering from hunger,” added Kai. Oscar and Kai encourage other local campuses and school districts to launch their own People Plates Planet chapter. To get started, please go to: peopleplatesplanet.org/toolkit. Oscar and Kai will receive a 2023 Champions of Promise Award, honoring local sustainability champions in our community, at the March 23rd Promise to Our Planet 2023 Acterra Event. This year’s theme is Charting Progress, Celebrating Community. This online event is free, although Acterra encourages a small donation.

In that sense, one might call it an illegal practice. Secondly, with the city clicking a $40M surplus, I don’t think anyone would have voted for Measure L especially if the above information was highlighted. Given both of the above, I do think that the council should reject the staff’s recommendation to raise rates. Also, the city needs to use the funds in the Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund as well as other funds to reduce the impact higher rates have had these past few months. The council/city should also be transparent about any restrictions on other funds that can be used for this purpose including how those restrictions can be lifted so that the interests of residents are put first.

Council Members, I’ve heard from 2 of you who think this (Q&A session) is a good idea. Proposal : The city council request questions that the residents may have in advance of the Q&A session. The council then obtain the answers before making it available to the residents. I’ll leave it upto you how you disseminate this information. At the very least, it’s captured in an FAQ. Ideally, the council won’t leverage the PR folks the city employs. I don’t expect that the city does everything right and not make mistakes once in a while.However, there is an expectation of transparency and learning from those mistakes through root cause analysis and corrective action. In my experience, this will inspire confidence in theresidents even if they are upset/angry at first.

But what is toprevent them from doing it to existing home owners? They sit around in city halls looking at what other local and state governments are doing and they get ideas.

(3) New North Texas Homeowners Hit With Unexpectedly High Tax Bills - YouTube Why wouldn't the scum try this on us??????????? A new PID to fill potholes. Or a newPID to upgrade traffic lights? We have to threaten them with criminal charges if they try this. I'm doing that now. We need tough new laws in California to put public officials in prison if they do anythinglike this. They should go to prison in Chicago over the property tax hikes. $2600 to $19,000 in one year on one house. Where is the US DOD? Biden should step in here in the ChicagoPROPERTY TAX case. So the US has become a hell hole for public officials to rape us? Better not. Review the events of 1789. We need some tough new federal laws here. Weneed some DAs and AGs to step in in these cases. We need the courts to step in. Getting elected means you can ruin people's lives? That is for sure what the asshole Newsom thinks with his SB9. That punk. It will soon be repealed and his political career isover thanks to my raising hell about SB9. The repeal measure will be on the November, 2024 ballot. VOTE for that. L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

THEN PG&E puts flyers in our energy bills saying there is a shortage of natural gasand that is why we are being screwed with sky high bills!!!! PG&E and all the other utilities in the US should yell bloody murder and say Bidencaused this, the bastard. Newsom calls for a federal investigation of why natural gas is so expensive.

Urge your Representative to become a co-sponsor of H.Res.77 to help do that.Sign the letter to Congress today H. RES. 77 – “Embracing the goals and provisions of theTreaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons” – wasintroduced last month by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA). Thebill calls on the Biden Administration to … • Make nuclear disarmament the centerpiece of the national security policy of the United States• Renounce the option of using nuclear weapons first• End the President’s sole authority to launch a nuclearattack• Take the nuclear weapons of the United States off hair-trigger alert• Cancel the plan to replace the nuclear arsenal of theUnited States with modernized, enhanced weapons. Last month, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists movedtheir iconic Doomsday Clock ahead to 90 seconds beforemidnight, the closest it’s ever come to symbolic globalapocalypse. This was done mainly due to “an exceedinglydangerous nuclear situation.” We agree. Action andleadership is urgently needed—especially from members ofCongress whose voices and votes help shape U.S. nuclearweapons policies and the decisions of the Executive Branch.

A very large portion of this parklet is in front of my proper, covering the visual presence of EdnaBowls. I am aware that The Council has asked for the renewal permits for the parklets are requiring approval from thetenant as well as the owner.As the property owner, I am pleased that the owner is included in the decision, considering the tenant turnoveris much more frequent than ownership. My tenant is struggling to stay in business. I feel the parklet is amajor part of this reason.

Stop murdering unarmed Palestinian people. Israel must tell theUntied States we don’t want your billions in annual financial aid. The billions in annualfinancial aid that goes to Israel instead must go to the Palestinian people to rebuilt theirinfrastructure, hospitals, schools and more. The state of Israel must end the practice ofcollective punishment. Israel must pay reparations to the Palestinian people for stealing theirland and for multiple and ongoing human rights violations. Aram James ( proud of my Jewish Heritage) Sent from my iPhone On Feb 15, 2023, at 10:00 AM, Jessica Blitchok, JCRC <jessicab@jvalley.org>wrote: The phrase kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh (Talmud, Shavuot 39a), meaning all of Israel are responsible for each other, is the basis of the notion of communal responsibility in Jewish law. Simply by virtue of being a Jew one isresponsible for thewell-being of other Jews. As an organization grounded in Jewish values, one of thekey pillars of our work is focused on the well being of theJewish people here, in Israel, and around the world. The unprecedented protests in Israel, centered on the proposed overhaul of the judiciary, brings the attention of all of us to this moment. For a broader overview of what is going on in Israel, this recent New York Times article is a good place to start. The poll by the Jewish People Policy Institute shows that44% support, and 41% oppose the changes, deeplydividing the country. The supporters of the proposed changes believe there is a need for greater parity between elected lawmakers and an unelected judiciary. Those opposed to the changes believe that the proposals would remove essential checks and balances, give toomuch power to the government, and endanger minorityrights. At the beginning of this month, Matti Friedman, Yossi Klein-Halevi, and Daniel Gordis issued an open letter to North American Jews calling for engagement. Additional calls for engagement on the issue of Israel’s proposedjudiciary changes are coming from major denominations(Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist) and national Jewish institutions (e.g. National Council of Jewish Women, Israel Policy Forum, Shalom Hartman Institute). They have joined together to offer a webinar this Thursday, February 16 at 11 am PT on thisconsequential moment and the role of North AmericanJews in securing Israel’s future. In the South Bay, our Israeli family has been deeply engaged on this issue and is asking for American Jews to get informed and if so moved, to get engaged. Galit Lipsitz Goldenthal, an Israeli ex-pat involved in severallocal Jewish institutions, including the JCRC, says, “I used to believe that those who do not live in Israel cannot truly understand it and should not express opinions on it, neither from the right nor from the left. As I see my homeland changing and drifting further awayfrom basic democratic principles, I am afraid for it. Wenow find ourselves at a point where Israel is on the brinkof passing laws that will nullify judicial independence thus losing its only check and balance against any government legislation and we are alone. This time let me be loud and clear: we need the support of anyone who embraces the right for a Jewish Democratic state to exist in the land ofIsrael. Please listen, learn and speak up for it. There is noother state of Israel.” Maya Tripp, Israeli and professional in the local Jewish community shares: "Now, more than ever, I'd like to invite you to look at Israel through loving eyes. Many of you have a piece of you in Israel, and see it as a place with special meaning.Educate yourself, think about the future of Israel andwhat you can do now to continue to be proud of the place and its people in the future, and speak up. Don't be silent when Israel is going through an extreme change. Tomorrow might be too late." Many of those active in the Israeli community in the BayArea are working to organize a collective responsethrough unxeptable.org.

From:Jo Ann Mandinach To:Council, City; City Mgr Subject:Gas Rebates: A long overdue and very small step. "Bad optics" Date:Wednesday, February 15, 2023 11:38:46 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. I look forward to more of Mayor Kou's work on our outrageous utility rates and more media coverage now that outraged people are finally paying attention. Sad how few people complaining on social media even knew the City Council approvedthe 20% utility rate hike OR about the $40,000,000 budget surplus until after theyapproved the "Gas Transfer Tax" giving the city the right to CONTINUE gouging us. (Concrete suggestions follow) Whether the rebates "cost the city" $1.1M or $3.4M for ONE month depending onwhich local newspaper you're reading, it's worth remembering that it's OUR money and not a "cost to the city" which evidently assumes it's entitled to keep milking taxpayers like cash cows. With CPAU bills of way over $1,000 EACH month even while conserving energy, a "rebate" for one month is pathetic since in January we were charged almost twice what PG&E customers paid. https://padailypost.com/2023/02/13/in-january-pges-gas-was-cheaper-than-citys/ It's a bad joke that Palo Alto has to offer its taxpayers daytime "warming centers" at the library before sending us home at night to freeze under our bed covers! Given Palo Alto's retired population, do you even have a clue what the average"income" for Social Security is and what percentage goes to CPAU?? Either way, paying us back $100 or $200 is insulting since the city's beenovercharging us for so many years with all its hidden "fees" and "connection charges" and "overcharges." We're now paying $50 monthly for "city use fees" for CPAU services and $30 monthly in water "connection fees" which costs eachhousehold $960 a year and nets the city $2,000,000 -- before we even count the$20,000,000 in annual "overcharges" it's charged us for years and for which we're STILL owed court-ordered rebates in the Miriam Green suit. Concrete suggestions: It's high time for the City Council to A) rescind the 20% rate hike it justapproved, esp, since they deceptively put the Gas Transfer Tax on the ballot without telling us about the $40M surplus, B) re-evaluate the Gas Transfer Tax and/or put it to another vote now that people understand it, C) Issue us our court-ordered refund in the Miriam Green suit WITH INTEREST and without regard to our health, age and other absurd criteria since it's been sitting on OUR money for years after forcing US to pay for the outside lawyers and the appeal, and D) review the CPAU bills for all the hidden and unnecessary fees /taxes /surcharges buriedin the bills and remove them from our bills! Remember, it's "bad optics" to have PA retirees freezing to death or getting sick due to lack of heat just like it was "bad optics" to bring up the budget surplus and the$1,000,000 for JMZ dinosaurs before the tax votes.

Be cautious of opening attachments andclicking on links. Please help I just introduced legislation to address the housing crisis and accelerate the permitting and construction of new homes in California! In 2017, I authored and passed SB 35 to streamline housing permits in communities that are falling short of their housing targets. According to the Terner Center, this law has been used to streamline approvals for at least 18,000 new homes across the state — including 3,000 new homes in San Francisco alone — significantly expanding our housing supply while cutting red tape. But this critical legislation is set to expire in 2025 – we can’t let that happen. My new housing bill removes this sunset, encourages mixed-income housing developments, and strengthens protections for construction workers. Will you add your name in support of my new housing bill so we can build on our progress? Sign on to show your support: ADD YOUR NAME Our efforts to build more housing have been a success. In just a few short years, we’ve accelerated housing development across our state. But our work is not yet over. We have committed to building 2.5 million new homes in the next eight years – and with the housing crisis worsening each year, we can’t afford to fall short. We need to pass my new legislation to extend and strengthen our efforts. You don't let your vacuum die after cleaning just one room of your house, and you don't let groundbreaking streamlining laws expire when you're building millions of new homes. So please, will you add your name to support this legislation? Let’s finish the job and deliver for working families in California.

Hi city council, We are residents of Palo Alto who would love to bike and walk, and to have our kids do thesame, and often find the streets are not designed for this in many areas in Palo Alto. Traffic moves very quickly and there are not properly marked and sectioned off bike lanes orcrosswalks to get around easily. Thank you for prioritizing city planning to make our streets safer for walking and biking and to prevent / reduce fatalities.All the best, Mariya & Mihail420 Jacobs Ct, Palo Alto Mariya Pivtoraiko From:Aram James To:Binder, Andrew; Reifschneider, James; Shikada, Ed; Lauing, Ed; Jeff Rosen; Council, City; Jay Boyarsky; Bains,Paul; peaceandjusticecenter@gmail.com; Tony Dixon; Cecilia Taylor; Betsy Nash Subject:Ab 742 coverage Date:Tuesday, February 14, 2023 9:15:51 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Feb. 14, 2023, mighty KCBS-SF AM740reported that a move is afoot by REGULATORS IN SACTO, NOT BY THE ELECTEDS, to do this: The electeds know we could vote them out for this, so they are having regulators do itinstead: They will outlaw the installation of gas water heaters in new homes and, in six years, ban the replacement of existing gas water heaters in existing homes. Installing a new electricwater heater in your home could cost $5,000 because the house has to be re-wired. Also the sellers of electrics have no idea where they would get the parts if millions of new units arerequired suddenly. If it takes months to get the new electric equipment, one could be without hot water for months. Cold showers could be bracing, and it's probably exactly what wedeserve. They said something about gas furnaces in the piece as well. Phil Matier was the reporter. He sort of roams around uncovering the lastest outrage out of Sacramento. Pretty clever to have the regulators do this instead of passing a new law. Tryvoting a regulator out. Someone asked about throwing that much burden onto the electric grid, and someone else said this will all happen just as Californians are loading up on EVs. Now if they can just shutdown the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant by 2025, we should be set up for a real mess. Changing topics, I want to remind my fellow Californicos that we are paying higher GAS TAXES AND HIGHER VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEES specifically to pay to repair thestreets and highways of California. Are you happy with the condition of the streets in Fresno, Ca.? I am not, and I just have to wonder where the billions of dollars we are paying in the twoitems above are going!!!!!!!! How about an audit by the AG of the US, with help from the FBI? Also BTW, Scott Wiener from San Mateo want to expand and extend the life of SB35, oneof the neighborhood-wrecking items passed with SB9.

I am sure many residents have contacted you about it. I live in a rather small house. I am in general very frugal with the gas and the electricity. And yet my bills have been increasing drastically when my usage has remained the same. My utility bills are as outlined below: September, 2022: $217.98 October, 2022: $ 243.41 November, 2022: $275.19 December, 2022: $417.95 January, 2023: $ 560.64 February, 2023 $ 983. 69 I called the main office and I was told that they do not know if this bill might continue to go up. Not reassuring. An increase from: $217.98 in September to $983.69 in February which is $ 765.71 with absolutely no increase in my usage is not acceptable. I believe that the City has excess funds - might they be used to help cover some of these exorbitant increases? There is another issue that concerns me. There is an inequity in the way some Palo Alto customers are treated by the City. I understand that there are some residents in Palo Alto North such as Larry Paige who purchased 4-5 houses, and they were allowed to tear them down and not rebuild. And yet apparently the State is mandating that more and more houses be constructed in Palo Alto and other cities. So, several ADUS have been submitted and accepted regardless of how these units will effect the standard of living of neighbors. For example, there is a four -plex on Yale Street at 2090, that already has between 8-12 residents. That building only has parking spots for 3 cars. So, 5 to 9 tenants need to everyday, find parking spots on the street. The building was sold and within about one year the new owners submitted an application for 2 ADUS to be constructed in the back yard. The application was accepted and the construction has begun. These 2 units will take up the entire back yard. Now with these 2 units there will be about 12 to 18 tenants altogether. Mostly people in California have cars. There was no requirement for more parking spots. So this four -plex with the new 2 ADUS, and about 18 if not more tenants will still only have 3 parking spots. So about 15 of their tenants will need to find parking spots on Yale Street every day. When I have gone there I see that those tenants are often competing with their neighbors to get the parking spots in front of the other residences. I also noticed that the owners keep all of their garage cans in the front of their property all of the time. I understood that once the garbage is taken the cans are supposed to be brought away from the front. Also I was told that the rented toilet for the construction is supposed to be placed as far from the neighboring houses as possible. This one is in the front, right beside the neighboring fence. I was told by one city staffer that that is a violation. And it can be dealt with by the city enforcement officer. Yet when I contacted the proper City staff member she informed me that I should deal myself with the garbage cans, and the toilet. That I should contact the new owner directly and ask her to move the garbage cans and the toilet. I did not find that very helpful. One final issue is the fence between that four-flex and the house on the north side of it ( that I have owned for manyyears.) That fence has become more and more damaged as the workers bring the materials from the front to the backusing that side. That fence is no longer standing upright, but it is very much leaning. In talking to that staff membershe told me again I would need to ask the new owner if she would have that part of the fence replaced as it hasbecome very damaged. Again, I did not find this helpful.I would much appreciate a response from you to these issues. Regards, Faith W.

Dear City of Palo Alto Council Members, As one of the representatives of the homeowners of Ellsworth Place, a private street in the Midtown neighborhood of Palo Alto, we are greatly concerned with the proposed projects posted at the start of our narrow, 20’ wide, private street. The apartment complex at 2901 Middlefield Road, located in-between Ellsworth Place and Sutter Ave., sold off the parking lot so someone could build an R-1 home. This was done prior to approval from the City and they are now in violation of the agreements for the parking plan of that apartment complex as written in 1958. We are requesting more information from the City regarding the two proposed projects: 23PLN-00025 and 23PLN-00027, for which signs are posted but there is no additional information available online. I had voiced my concern about this sale when it went on the market, and I was told in a Zoom meeting with planning that, “the buyer is responsible for the private street” and that they could not help us. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was advised to contact the individual departments: planning, project coordinator, transportation, and public works to get more information. I contacted transportation last week and was told there was nothing they could do to help us until after something was already built. When I sent a letter to Chief Planning Official, Amy French with three main concerns including pedestrian safety and parking problems, my email was forwarded to the new owner of the parking lot, without my permission, and he answered my questions in an email and also called me on the phone. Thankfully all of my interactions with him have been positive thus far. However, the setbacks of his proposed new house are not conducive to the narrowness of our 20’ wide street and do not follow the same building setbacks other homeowners have been forced to comply with, including the 20' setback for new builds on the Ellsworth Place side of their home, which is also the front side of their house. Several Ellsworth Place homeowners have sent letters to Amy French to ask for more information and they have yet to receive responses. I have been hesitant to email her again since my last email was forwarded without my permission. The proposed plans do not make sense for our street, and we are unable to obtain more information about these proposed projects from the city. We ask for a stay on these proposed projects until safety can be addressed, and we demand that any property split be written in accordance with our deeds as owners of a private street, and that any new home that would be built on the "parking lot" be made to follow the same building codes and rules as the rest of the homeowners have had to follow here on Ellsworth Place.

Please take action to prioritize pedestrian safety, bicycling safety, vision zero, climate action, and promote community health and safety. There are many ways to do this such as adding pedestrian signals at crosswalks, improving designated bicycling lanes, adopting a city wide speed limit of 20mph, adding bicycling lanes on El Camino Real Boulevard, encouraging our community (including employers and commercial businesses) to promote walking and riding bicycles as an alternative to motor vehicle transportation. The more safe, the more healthier!

Honorable Council members, As you finalize your input to staff on Council priorities for 2023, I’m writing to encourage you to ask staff to expedite consideration of the Safe System approach in order to: * Improve roadway safety in Palo Alto (under Community Health and Safety), * Encourage more people to choose foot-powered transportation more often in Palo Alto (under Climate Change and Adaptation). This proven approach has been adopted by the US Department of Transportation and by Caltrans, and will be required for funding transportation projects going forward.

To whom it may concern, My name is Elizabeth Fetter and I have lived in Palo Alto my whole life. I am currently asenior at Paly and I want to encourage the City Council to focus on bike safety, especially with respect to school bike routes. I have biked to school almost every single day of life. First, it was to Escondido Elementary, only five minutes away from my house. Because of the hyper-awareness of the fragility of five and six year olds, the focus on bike safety –– and safety in general ––was obvious. There were crossing guards, clad in orange vests, waving their bright red octagons up and down, like those little people you see out the window at an airport. But here, the traffic was silver SUVs and white seven-seater Toyotas, not Boeing 747s. The intent was the same, however: slow the traffic, keep everyone safe. There were also signs. Neon yellow triangles practically shouted their warning messages: “SLOW. SCHOOL ZONE.” And this was on top of the watchful parents, tightly gripping their kids' hands as they scuttled across the street, or biking carefully behind their third grader as she pedaled across up and across the road. In elementary school, there were layers of safety, protecting walkers and bikers alike. After six years of daily trips to Escondido, I was off to Jordan (now Greene). This commute had me crossing a couple of major roads (El Camino and Middlefield). Unlike the elementary school years, there wasn’t much in terms of safety. No more Dad biking behind me, watching out. No more mom holding my hand to cross the street. There were still signs, and sometimes a crossing guard on El Camino –– with that same vest, the same waving red sign –– but it didn’t matter. Because the intent was gone. It was as if bike safety wasn’t a priority anymore. Somewhere in the 81 days of summer between fifth and sixth grade, the pre-teens had magically become safe riders –– and the drivers in their two tons of metal had magically become perfect. Then, I moved on to Palo Alto High School. The number of major roads I had to cross had halved (only El Camino), but Churchill –– arguably more dangerous –– was added to the list. A terrible intersection, in which the flow of cars, and the perpendicular flow of bikers and pedestrians, is never-ending. Every day, in the ten minutes before school starts, there are at least five near-missed collisions and the occasional actual collision. But even more significant than this is that –– by going through that intersections –– nearly every person crossing is afflicted by the confusion and frustration of the unclear signage and terrible arrangement of this dangerous crossing. When can I go? Is it their turn, or mine? What is happening? The dangers of my route specifically (Churchill) speak to the broader dangers of biking, be it to school, work, or to sports practice. Within this, however, the dangers of students biking to school are compounded by the teenage rebellion of lackluster helmet precautions and the slew of new young adult drivers on the road around high schools. But even more important than this is the increasingly obvious lack of awareness and accountability by the trusted adults in our community with respect to bike safety. In the same way bike safety took a turn for the worse between our fifth-grade promotion and our matriculation in the sixth grade, when we moved on to High School, our district, the city, and the people seemed to think that bike safety had become less important. While I am not suggesting we return to the double and triple layers of protection that bikers experienced as elementary schoolers, what our community needs to understand is that bikers can be vulnerable and that their safety, especially as we increasingly encourage the move away from gas power and towards pedal-power, needs to be prioritized. I firmly believe the Palo Alto city council should lead this charge. Thank you. Kind regards, Elizabeth Fetter
