To all who care about the future of Mountain View’s historic downtown:
Senate Bill 79 (SB79) threatens the existence of Mountain View’s historic downtown. If passed, it would permit the demolition and replacement of any or all of the historic buildings in the 100-300 block of Castro Street BY RIGHT (WITHOUT ANY CITY COUNCIL VOTE) just because they are within one-half mile of the Caltrain station. Other downtowns along the Caltrain line are similarly threatened.
If you care about the preservation of our Bay Area historic downtowns, please call Senator Becker and Assemblyman Berman TODAY and say “I live in your district and OPPOSE SB79”. Key votes will take place between August 18 and September 12. Please act now! Contact info is in the graphic below.
You can email livable.mountain.view@gmail.com if you have any questions about SB79 or what is in this email.
