As the community (regrettably) expands links to the town’s many physical assets can become a means of integrating rather than simply housing the new. I have lived three years on the east side of 17 after 20 on the west side. I drove my daughter to Fisher and LGHS and still watch as kids stream across. Let’s make it easier and safer.

Fisher Middle School I wanted to express our support for the Highway 17 bicycle and pedestrian bridge project. The Safe Routes to School program has done a fantastic job encouraging students to walk or roll (bike, scooter or skateboard) to school. During normal times, both before and after school, one would find hundreds of Fisher students traveling down Blossom Hill road. We hope that the Town can do whatever it takes to make this passageway as safe as possible. Sincerely yours, From: Scott, Marty Sent: Monday, November 30, 2020 8:57 PM To: Council <Council@losgatosca.gov> Subject: Blossom Hill - 17 Pedestrian/Cycling Bridge .. YES As a longtime Los Gatos resident, avid cyclist, mother of two daughters who ride bikes and grandmother to several grandchildren who rides bikes (to school when they can, and around town for fun!) … PLEASE build this bridge. Thank you for your consideration!

While my two boys attended Fisher I strongly encouraged them to ride bicycles to school, riding through Vasona and up Blossom Hill road to the school. While the Blossom Hill / Highway 17 overpass appears safe on an early Saturday morning ride it can become quite congested with pedestrians, scooter riders, cyclists and cars during the busy morning commute. The proposed bicycle and pedestrian bridge would greatly expand capacity for traffic in this critical area and would be a great asset to the community. -- Tim Irvine From: Yi, Sooky Sent: Monday, November 30, 2020 8:11 PM To: Council <Council@losgatosca.gov> Cc: john@bikesiliconvalley.org Subject: blossom hill footbridge yes. and yes. A bridge would be an asset to the town. Connecting east and west will only create a stronger sense of community. As a long time resident who has run, walked, and biked every inch of Los Gatos, I assure you a bridge would be an amazing improvement. If we create a bridge they will come. People will walk, run and ride more! Just Do it. Sooky Yi Marchmont Dr.
