Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi Ms. Chao, My name is Poyen (Alex) Chang and my address is at 10314 Ann Arbor Avenue, Cupertino. We met several times in Silicon Valley Chinese School events when I was serving as Principle from 2014 – 2016. I’d like to say thank you again for being so supportive to our school as an influential community leader. Our neighborhood filed a petition recently regarding an extension of the residential permit parking zone of Ann Arbor Court, which covers along the conjunction portions of Ann Arbor Avenue and Lauretta Drive to Ann Arbor Court. The reason of the petition is to restore the quiet/safe neighborhood we used to have before converting the tennis courts into pickle ball courts in Memorial Park. Pickle ball players park their vehicles along the curbsides starting at as early as 6:30 pm on a daily basis and the situation is getting worse apparently. Memorial Park provides the parking spaces where the players should utilize when coming to their games. Since Garden Gate Elementary School is so close, driving safety issue is greatly concerned as well. We hope you can help reduce the unnecessary traffic and ensure the safety and peace neighborhood by approving the petition after the reading(s) of an ordinance to establish the proposed residential permit parking zone. The first reading will be held on September 17. Your attention on the petition would be greatly appreciated!

I am aware my emails are terse. When there are large numbers of Cars parked on Ann Arbor/Lauretta Drive, I drive by the parking lot you reference. I see open parking stalls. See photos from Friday night, 9/13/2024. There are 9 cars parked on Lauretta Drive.

I was just talking to the city manager this morning and wonder why those pickleball players don't park at the park parking lot, which is not very far. My son played tennis there for a few years, so I've always parked in the parking lot. It's hardly full and the walk to the tennis court is nice. Plus, they are there to exercise anyway. The short walking distance from the parking lot should be no big deal. It's a matter habit, I guess. Unless the parking lot at the park is full, which I'm not so sure about.

I am at 10315 Ann Arbor Ave at the corner of Ann Arbor Ave and Ann Arbor Ct. Lloyd is two houses away from me. We share your sentiments! We have consistently observed that pickleball players will revert back to the park’s lots if they see that there are no open slots in the “red zone” (proposed restricted area) that David Stillman marked on his map as it’s a shorter walk. The people that are parking in this red zone are staying for several hours - some diehards are parked up to six hours and come back in the late afternoon (when cooler) to play again until 10 pm when the court lights go out. With fall/winter cooler weather approaching, we fear that pickleball players will be a constant presence in this red zone from very early in the morning (as early as 6:30 am!) until 10 pm. I hope to make the council meeting Tuesday evening to speak on behalf of our neighborhood group.
