Subject: 30-acre rooftop park is not even big enough for 10,000 workers
To: City Council <citycouncil@cupertino.org>, "City of Cupertino Planning Dept." planning@cupertino.org
Dear Councilmembers and Planning Commissioners,
The Hills at Vallco claims to provide 3.8 miles of trails on the rooftop. (Note that the rest of the 30-acre park is not accessible like a regular park. Only designated areas are accessible.)
3.8 miles equals 6.1 km = 61,000 meters.
Line up the 10,000 workers from the 2 million square feet of office. Each person has to be 60 cm apart to just take a stroll at lunch on the-3.8 mile-long trail. There is little room to just take a leisurely walk on the rooftop even for the 10,000 employees of The Hills at Vallco. No more room for the 2,400 residents of Vallco.
Let alone any room for Cupertino residents, even if the rooftop is built as promised.

Will
these 10,000 workers and 2,400 residents compete for the limited
parkland available in the area and the limited gym facilities in
Cupertino?
