SUBJECT:  Vallco EIR Scoping Comments – impact to schools

 

Both the Cupertino Union School District and the Fremont Union High School District have signed Letters of Intent with Sand Hill Properties regarding the Hills-at-Vallco project.  These agreements should be included in the EIR scope of study.  All impacts throughout both districts, regardless of city should be studied. 

 

Traffic – already boundaries are starting to change as a result of this and other proposed projects.  This changes traffic patterns so future change in traffic patterns should also be studied for both the high school and elementary/middle school districts.

 

Traffic – CUSD has started changing and offering open enrollment which changes the traffic pattern.  All future boundary and changes in open enrollment/different student programs should be studied as it impacts future traffic patterns and safe routes to school.

 

Space at Vallco for FUHSD – all students from all high schools will be able to use this space.  Traffic should be studied based on all locations of high schools throughout the FUHSD.

 

Sincerely,

Peggy Griffin
