Many neighbors had the opportunity to meet upcoming election candidates for Palo Alto City Council, School Board, and State Assembly at the BPA Ice Cream Social in late September. Almost all of our local candidates attended this event!

In addition to inviting the candidates to our Ice Cream Social, the BPA Board sent a brief questionnaire to candidates for City Council and State Assembly.The BPA board realizes there are many important issues which were not included in the brief questionnaire. The questions we chose focused on a few concerns residents shared through the BPA email lists or with the BPA Board. As we receive additional responses, we will add them to the website.

The BPA Board appreciates your support!

ECR Community Cleaning Day

Saturday, February 27, 2021

Dear Family & Friends,

As you know, families have been moving from El Camino Real (ECR) to the newly open Safe Parking Space on Geng Road. As families move, the KSP and our community partner Kafenia decided to bring our community for a street cleaning day!

The goal of this day is to bring RV dwellers and other community members to interact, get to know each other, while lightly cleaning our almost empty street. This will be an outdoor, COVID Safe event. 

 

Please join us on 2/27/21 From 10:30 AM to 1 PM 

Sign up here to let us know you’re coming

Can’t make it?   

Please DONATE to help support the  RV families!

The Parks Department intends to replace the chain gate at Bol Park on Laguna near the crosswalk coming from Laguna Court with a large metal gate.  Eventually, they will replace all the chain gates including the one on Laguna near the creek and the one on Robles Ridge.

Less obtrusive alternatives like a arm gate or folding or collapsible bollards have been suggested, but we don’t think they will consider them.  Below are pictures of the proposed gate and examples of the other options mentioned.

If you have any suggestions or concerns about the city plan please contact the BPA Board and/or the Parks Department.  They are moving quickly and want to install the 1st gate by the end of August. The official announcement was published August 1st
