Item 29 was OCI'1Sidere:l o.rt; of order.
29. RepalL en light rail and requests fran the cities of
Mountain View and SUnnyvale to endorse their respective
projects .
Director of PUblic WorKs Viskavich presented a staf! Lq.>ULL
and ðnS\Jetal CDmcil's questiŒlS regarding the likelihood
of light rail bein] built in OJpe.rtino and wMther it waùd
be in the Highway 85 corridor.
Rich Napier, Mayor of SUnnyvale, introc1uced CDmc. I.any
stene, -~ of SUnnyvale's Light Rail Task Force, and
said that Mazvin Rose, PUblic Works Director, and Ray
Willi """"""1, the city's Traffic ED;Jineer were also p1:~eld:..
Mr. Napier said that the system will be built in ¡i1ases.
CDmcil III.ISt look at what is good for bath the camty and
QJpertino.
Mr. stcne eXh'¡LCltulated CDmcil 00 the I"'G-:ao:¡e of ~''''''Ire
T. He stated that all cities III.ISt OCI'1Sider the regicnal
benefits of light rail. '!be best interest of the regien is
the best interest of QJpertino. '!he existin;J light rail
system does not start anywhere or go anywhere. I.ockheed is
not ...............--t«i to the system, ëmd they are the léU.ycst
eDplayer in the area. He said that in view of the limited
funds avai:able for mass transit, he believes SUnnyvale is
a better choice than Mountain View to be ..............."ted to the
system; there are not encu;Jh funds to c............."t bath cities.
We IIIJSt not maJœ choices today that will close o.rt; ~ŒIS
to extend and OCIIplete the system in the future. F\Jture
extensioo to the Highway 85 arrl Vasœa corridors waùd be
more costly if the extensioo does not go to Sunnyvale.
Light rail ...............-tien to CalTrain also worlcs best in
SUnnyvale. '!he SUnnyvale r=te provides lower costs of
oonstructien, greater ridership, a better c:hanoe for
f'urñ.in; by the Federal government, a greater anã more cost
effective c:hanoe for extensien to the West Valley and
better integratien with exi.stiIxJ transit systems like
CalTrain. He asIœd for an expressien of stgX>rt fran
QJpertino to the Camty.
In answer to a questioo regart:iinJ possible eliminatien of
lanes en DeAnza Bculevard to provide roan for the light
rail, Mr. Vi.skavich said that waùd not haRJer¡, the road
waùd be widened. '!he median and BaDe right of way waùd
be - iM. Alternate analyses waùd be required.

c....1I~ien of Ibmtain View to the systen waùd be best
fran both regional and local pe....1""-·tives.
Mr. D.IcJ:Jan L LL..Jlvoed Walter CaI1en, Plannirx:J Director. Mr.
CaI1en said they are tryin:J to balance ha..1sin;, jà:s and
transportatioo. Cities are ~ 00 Tt:M and the '1'2010
Plan as w1.l as light rail t...'"anSpOrtatioo. He shewed a
drawin;r of the i'L' \œed line and said there are no
conflicts with roads or residential neighborhoods. He said
the system JDJSt serve the north ocunty and the entire
regioo. 'Ibis Ìo'L''i~', waùd required no demolitioo, no
relocatioo and little acq..ù.sitien of prcperty. Regartlin;r
cost effectivity, the ~ View line waùd be
~itive. '!he cities of Palo Alto and I.œ Altos have
erxiorsed this plan and other cities have SlIßJOrted the
(X),"""'¥L of light rail.
Patsy LtmiewJd, 7624 DeFoe Drive, said light rail is a
t'Iø""de. She USUally sees oo1y five peq>le in the cars.
The system has disrupted First street in San Jose. She
asked what the advantage of this system is over b.t'œ. Use
of hlSes does not take irWay fran traffic lanes. She said
light rail is an expensive mistake.
Gorden Frolich, 1202 Belknap c::wrt, said he had served on
the Goals n--ittee. He said there is not rcx:m in the 85
corridor for light rail. We t'Q'ld go up but not
1.II'r3ergrc:ux. Mr. Frolidt said that if the systen ""....... to
0Jpertin0, it's iJII)Ortant that it be en DeAnza Bculevard
and stevens Creek Boulevard to get to the "Grand
Bculevard". He said he had no ..LL....'" positioo e'C':",!'L that
light rail aISt cx:me dawn stevens Creek Boulevard if the
Grand Bculevard ......"""'¥L is to \o1erk.
Ann Arqer, Ðlpire Aver&Je, said that Santa Clara Chmty is
III..Ich larger than San Francisco but does not have the
pc:p1latien den;ity to pay for light rail. She said she
waùd rather sge the PARI' system extended. She said she
waùd prcvi.œ oc:pies of a letter regard..iIg CCliparisons of
Santa Clara Chmty's transportatien - 'I.. with those of New
York, Chicago and San Francisco.
No re.:> ····-Ùi1tioo was received fran the City's
Transportaticn CcIIInittee.
Counc. Goldman stated his ~inioo that it was not
~L'-+'Liate for QJpertino to lalJby the Board of

a C'n1pany has as its respclIsibility watchin:J oot for
dollars it is not cost effective to give the state a blank
c:r.eck to Wild the bridge. Bridges CXIIIe in lots of sizes
and shapes and designs. If we CXIIIe up with a legitimate
cap it is asIdn:1 the designer to work within a bJdget. At

JaI1n Marshall asked if there is a time frame for the brià;¡e

shalld give them a time limit.
Mr. Viskcvich said if the Council sets a limit it is
cx:mnittin:J the City to SC1IIe future cœts which are
unknown. staff can't make these cxmnit:ments. We have the
cptien of acllin;r pedestrian overc:rœsings and leavin:J the

Viskcvich, there are bIo possible scenarios: (1) We fail
to get to SI'IP and all the rest of the cost except the
SOOrato Da1ey is beL'" by the City. (2) If it gets in
STIP can it be 1::W.lt by 1993 101hen we need it to mitigate
the in;Jact of the project? '!he cost keeps goin] up each
