Longtime Mountain View Whisman School District trustee Ellen Wheeler walked around Monta Loma Park last week, envisioning how its relatively small space, 5.67 acres, could be optimized to serve both the students and local residents who consider the school district-owned site their nearby park.
The park, located along Thompson Avenue, is easily accessible, with its open, well-kept field at the front of the property adjacent to school buildings inviting those who want to play soccer, walk dogs or simply sit out in the sun. Equally inviting are the tree-lined walking trails at the siteâs edges and the playground facilities. Beyond the open space is a fenced-in baseball field, home to 300-400 participants of Mountain View Little League. Wheeler pointed to two entrances at the rear of the site, where visitors have easy access to the park.

In the coming weeks, Mountain View will begin the long task of installing close to 2,600 no parking signs across the majority of the city s streets, banning RVs and oversized vehicles from parking along public roadways.
City officials say the undertaking is expected to begin in early or mid-July, delivering on a voter-approved measure to prohibit large vehicles from parking on 444 of the city s 525 streets. Though the measure was ostensibly about traffic safety, advocates on both sides openly acknowledged Measure C as a means to reduce the growing number of homeless people living in vehicles.
