DISCLAIMER: Impact zones were developed by Livable Mountain View after reading the text of SB79 and after consulting with people knowledgeable about the legislation. However, our organization does not include elected state officials, their staff, or real-estate attorneys. Ours is a good faith effort to map the impact of SB79, but the placement and size of the actual impact zones determined, should SB79 become law, may be larger or smaller than those depicted here.

NOTE: We have received word from people in communication with Senator Wiener’s staff that the impact zones around train and light rail stations should be larger. The half-mile radius is from ANY point in the transit center, not just the single point in the middle of the transit center.
