[EXTERNAL SENDER]

Greetings,
It has been brought to my attention that the Assisted Living center will now have reduced
limited parking spaces for the employees and visitors.
I have lived on Via Sereno for almost 40 years and after a few years on my street , unknown to
us the overnight street parking apparently was altered thereby creating a ongoing problem on
our unlit streets .
The matter has been raised at City Monte Sereno numerous times due to ongoing concerns
reported and citations for Vandalism, break ins .
Given the fact that we do not have street lights the overflow of traffic from this project will
further add to the nuisance and safety of us neighboring residents . Despite the numerous
incidents, Vehicles are left unattended, stolen and abandoned and the Police can only do so
much .. They are short staffed, overworked and attending Crime scenes etc as a priority.
It is imperative for Town of Los Gatos to ensure sensible governance so that we do not over
burden the Police to add any additional problems.
Expand the parking space areas on this project and co ordinate with City of Monte sereno to
adopt a permit parking zone only to the immediate residential streets .
Thanks ,
Adesh Kumar
