Trustee Blakey of MVWSD. Public Policy of the past Boards and Administration (Superintendent Barry Groves) of the MVLA High School District delivered very early in their last facilities bonds on the promise of solar electric equipment. Hence - that public direction seemed to be taken seriously by the students. Now - Los Altos SD is also taking that type of facilities investment seriously (where the BOND MONEY is actually spent).
MVWSD Board majority policy did not support solar electric facilities. So, none were built in the last 10 years in MVWSD. Small wonder. But now - it looks like MVWSD is in-the-planning-stage. And maybe - students in MVWSD will start to get inspired by the example of their elders .

Time for a small Bus Rapid Transit system WITHIN Mountain View. This type of system is highly cost effective because there is minimal capital investment in fixed structures (guideways of any sort). It is effective because the start up on the moving stock requires no R&D money. Buses + drivers = been there and done that (and the large VTA bus yard is right off Shoreline in the North Shorline area (Eureka!)
Auto-activated free pass timing of traffic signals (been there and done that!). Limited number and placement of center median boarding areas (been there done that SF, SJ and many cities around here both bus and light rail).
