Mountain View Survey and Feedback Form
In the effort to develop a new Strategic Plan and Visioning the City of Mountain View is looking for community input on their proposed vision statement and seven strategic priorities. We need to push for more protections and enhancements for nature and native biodiversity. The City Council is set to adopt this strategic roadmap at their meeting on June 22nd.
Please complete this survey before May 26th to provide feedback and ask that the strategic priorities include increasing our tree canopy, rewilding, enhancing our urban forest, protecting and enhancing nature in the city, and protecting and expanding native biodiversity.
You can also fill out this feedback form and comment on any part of the City of Mountain View’s strategic planning process. Specifically, comment on the urgency and necessity of enhancing our tree canopy, rewilding efforts, our urban forest, nature in the city and natural spaces, and native biodiversity.

San Jose Light Tower
Recently, San Jose City Council advanced the Urban Confluence project. The City, led by Council Member Davis, provided some direction to ensure that the project is not a financial burden to the City, ask that the design be done to the “highest environmental excellence standards” to avoid rather than mitigate negative environmental impacts, and call for citywide outreach.
San Jose residents, please email Deputy Director Nicolle Burnham at nicolle.burnham@sanjoseca.gov to ask for an impartial, citywide survey that provides arguments for and against the project to guarantee that our community is informed and engaged with the process.
