Dear City Council,
I first want to thank you for your recent careful consideration of and the Council's rejection of a semi‐rural
designation for Carmen Road. As you noted, it is critical that this stretch of road remain available for
the implementation of sidewalks and a potential Safe Route to School. Thank you for looking at the larger
implications for this designation on Carmen Road.
As an active community member, I want to further express my support for the Carmen Road Bridge project.
We all know that the car and truck traffic on Foothill is dangerous. The new development of homes at the
corner of Foothill and Vista Knoll will add even more congestion to this area. We need to continue to mitigate
the traffic and improve access for students via alternative pedestrian and bicycle routes. The Carmen Road
Bridge project is a perfect opportunity to make a very meaningful and necessary improvement to our
community.
My house is on Mira Vista Rd (same as Larry Dean's who spoke at the meeting last week) which is just one
block away from Carmen. I would have loved to have had an accessible route to Stevens Creek Elementary
school for my kids from this side of Stevens Creek. The Carmen Road Bridge project will reconnect our
neighborhoods, reduce traffic around our schools, and fulfill our commitment to a greener and safer
community.
Staff has been doing an excellent job with moving this project along to date. I hope you will commit the city to
this project via support for necessary funding to bring it to fruition. It would be a significant loss if this
opportunity is not cemented into the city's future capital improvement plans.
There are many worthy projects to consider. The Carmen Road Bridge project embodies many priorities
Cupertino has previously articulated. I hope you will continue to support this project to make the stated
priorities our reality.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Carol Stanek

Dear Cupertino City Councilmembers,
Hope you are all doing well. First of all, I wanted to thank you all for your support of Measure A and your
support of our CUSD schools. Having your voice in our community means a lot, and as a school board
member, I really appreciate your willingness to stand up for public education. While I know 67% is a high
threshold for any election, I feel confident that support is high in our community and I'm personally thankful for
each of you and your decision to endorse.
I wanted to send this letter in support of the Carmen Bridge project. I had a chance to meet with the Walk-
Bike-Cupertino leaders this week and they helped provide some information on the specifics for the
project. Admittedly, I'm not a resident in that neighborhood, but I am a strong believer in the greater good for
the community to have more accessible pathways for pedestrians and bikers.
I've been impressed with how Cupertino has made biking/walking safety a priority these last few years. Our
whole community was grief-stricken when Ethan Wong died from the bike accident a few years back, but it
touched my family (and Vice Mayor Chao's) in a personal way, since we've both known the Wong family for
years and our sons have grown up with Ethan's younger brother Gavin. When I drive through Cupertino now,
and see the bike bumpers and widened bike lanes, I'm grateful for the leadership that took action after that
tragedy, to take steps to ensure that something like that won't happen again. Thank you for creating a legacy
for Ethan that will impact future generations.
I'm excited to see a project like Carmen Bridge, that will help provide a safe access route for many students
living south of Stevens Creek Boulevard to safely get to Stevens Creek Elementary each day, without having to
be driven because the route is too difficult or unsafe for them. It will also allow many students to bike from the
neighborhoods north of Stevens Creek Boulevard to Monta Vista High and to Kennedy Middle School. As I'm
sure you're aware, it's already been endorsed by the PTAs and PTOs of the surrounding elementary, middle
and high schools in that neighborhood, so the community is in support of it as well. It's another step toward
ensuring safety for the children in the community, which we all care about.
As you look at your list of projects for 2021-2022, I hope you will consider adding funding to the next Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) budget for the Carmen Bridge, all the way through construction. As I understand, it's
already Tier 1 in Pedestrian Plan and Tier 2 in Bike Plan, so it's in alignment with city priorities. Allocating full
funding for the project would allow for long-term planning and budgeting.
Thank you for the work you are doing, and your leadership for the city.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Leong

Dear Mayor Paul and Cupertino City Council Members:
I am writing to ask that you allocate and commit necessary funding for the Carmen Road Bridge project. This project will
benefit community members young and old alike. It is an investment that provides a lot of return as it connects parts of
the community that are separated by the very busy Stevens Creek Boulevard. This makes the project a very significant
step forward in the ongoing transformation of our city to a place where citizens can navigate by foot or bicycle.
As president of the FUHSD Board of Trustees, I am particularly interested in the benefit this bridge will provide for our
student who wish to walk or bike to school. This project will provide an easier and safer path to Monta Vista High School
for hundreds of students. In recent years we have seen a significant number of students biking to several of our schools.
If this project is completed, it will afford the opportunity for many more students do this. Among the many advantages
of having students bike to school are increased student health and stress reduction from exercise, decreased traffic
around our schools, and less impact on the environment. With students returning to school, it would be nice to have
safe routes available for more students as soon as practical. I hope that the city council will make the commit to fund
this project now so that it can be scheduled, completed and used by our students and community members in the near
future.
Thank you for considering this and thank you for serving Cupertino.
Sincerely,
Bill Wilson

Dear Mayor Paul and Council Members,
As a community member and leader, I ask that you allocate the necessary funding for the Carmen Road Bridge
project. This project will provide our community members, including seniors and students, a safe way to navigate
neighborhoods and safe routes to schools by foot or bicycle.
The Carmen Road bridge will help to reconnect neighborhoods, reduce traffic around our schools and pursue a path to
make our community greener. As our roads return to being busier, it will be challenging to bike on Stevens Creek Blvd
and Foothill Blvd, which will force neighbors and students into their cars to make trips that could otherwise be made via
walking or biking across the Carmen Road bridge.
I understand that the city staff is quite busy with a long list of capital projects. They are to be commended for their
successful efforts thus far. I encourage you to give the Carmen Bridge project a funding commitment in the city’s future
capital improvement plans.
There is wide community support for this project. If the design and development start late in the next fiscal year, then
construction and installation can start within the next 15 months.
Thank you all for your support.

Dear Mayor Paul and Cupertino City Council members,
I am writing to support funding for the Carmen Road Bridge project. As a board member of Fremont Union High School
District, I support this project because it will provide students a safer route to and from school, either by walking or
biking.
Currently, students living north of Stevens Creek Blvd between the creek and Foothill Expressway have no good route to
ride to Monta Vista high school. Either they have to ride against traffic on Foothill Expressway or ride against traffic on
Stevens Creek to get to the crosswalk at Phar Lap, and even using that crosswalk can be difficult. Stevens Creek and
Foothill are both high‐traffic roads and are not very safe for biking. The result is that students and their parents choose
to drive to school rather than bike or walk. A bridge at Carmen Road will help reduce traffic to and from school.
Please support planning and budgeting to get this project off the ground.
Thank you,
Roy Rocklin

Honorable Mayor and Cupertino City Council members,
As you prepare your new budget, I urge you to prioritize and provide the necessary funding for
the Carmen Road Bridge project. I taught at Stevens Creek School for many years, and I am very
familiar with the safety challenges facing our students as they make their way to Stevens Creek,
Kennedy, and Monta Vista schools. I believe the Carmen Road Bridge project will provide safe
passage for students, seniors, and other community members and keep more cars off of our streets.
Thank you for your consideration and for all you do to ensure the safety of Cupertino residents and
visitors.
Best,

Dear Mayor Paul, Madam Vice Mayor Chao, and Honorable Councilmembers Moore, Wei and Wiley,
As an advocate for children and families in our community, I am writing to you today to ask for your consideration in
fully funding and setting aside a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget for the Carmen Rd. Bridge Project through
completion in this cycle. Even if the planning and construction phases will be spread out between fiscal years, it would
be of great peace of mind to the community to know the project funds are set aside through construction.
I fully support our Stevens Creek Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Kennedy Middle School and Monta Vista High School
PTA/PTO's in their endorsement of this project for their children.
This project will help many of our CUSD students living both north and south of Stevens Creek Boulevard to safely get to
their respective schools, as well as access local neighborhoods and parks, without having to be driven because the route
is too difficult or unsafe for them.
The most frequent reason I hear as a Safe Routes to School advocate and Trustee from families living in these areas is
that they all share concern and reticence to send their children on Foothill Expy and Stevens Creek Boulevard. Both
because of the higher traffic volume and speeds, but also especially in times when the diesel trucks are frequenting the
Quarry, because it does not feel like a safe option for their families. Planning and implementation of a bridge at Carmen
would give all of these families a safer, interior neighborhood street option for accessing schools on the west side by
walking and biking. As you know, there is not currently a safe crossing on Stevens Creek Blvd. anywhere between
Foothill and Orange.
The Carmen Bridge is already in the Tier I Pedestrian and Tier 2 Bicycle plans in Cupertino, and would also be a
wonderful addition for connecting neighborhoods and parks on the west side as well.
Thank you for your ongoing dedication to improving walking and biking access in Cupertino, and for your partnership in
improving the safety and well being of our shared students and family stakeholders. I know you all have been
champions of this work for many years, and sincerely appreciate your consideration to furthering this important effort
throughout the City.
Best,
Lori
