Getting this done took a long time and it is nice to see it happen.
However, at the expense of ending the Maybell hearing to be continued next week, this was a disservice to the community in attendance and disrespectful of all the hard work the developer has put in working closely with the community.
Let's hope practical minds and common sense prevail on Tuesday and the Maybell 16 unit plan is passed without a useless (and potentially dangerous) pedestrian path and funds in lieu of units that might ultimately be allocated to a solution at Buena Vista.

11 million dollars for something used by a few hundred people?? Look at a map. Why not eliminate the golf course, and all the water (I know it's recycled) and build a southern onramp to the Dumbarton Bridge instead? So much of the back-up on 101 at University and Willow is caused by people trying to crawl down city streets to get to the Bridge. It's time to face the facts.

I doubt that more than 100 people will use it! Golf is too time-consuming

[Portion removed.]
The course hosts thousands of local golfers every year. Many older and retired locals who can't afford a country club membership. And many many young people practice and play here. Palo Alto High, Caatella and East Palo students. The only thing reducing play is the incredible disarray caused by now years of bureaucratic delay and confusion. And the restaurant hosts local wedding and graduation parties at reasonable costs.
Please get informed before making statements about the course.

Don't forget that golf courses consume an enormous excess of water daily!

Ahem... wrong the course will be watered with reclaimed water from the sewage treatment facility a cross the street.
Thank you City Council for believing in this project... a legacy that will benefits thousands for generations to come, and hopefully make the city some money.
Teddie.
