Currently, a singular, localized weather station collects useful information on patterns that can be used for indicators, yet the data requires manual processing and there is not a system in place to report the findings. The current method of information transfer is in person during weekly meetings which can be ineffective and inconsistent. In continuation of a previous project focused on sharing water quality information, our mobile application acts as a platform for leaders to share valuable weather indicators with members of the community in real time instead of on a weekly basis.

  • Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder
    Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder Company Overview Headquartered in Mountain View, CA Silicon Shores Corporation is the company overseeing operations of the Shoreline Lake Boathouse and American Bistro at the Shoreline Lake Recreational Area and Wildlife Sanctuary. Silicon Shores manages the facilities through a leasing arrangement with the City of Mountain View, which owns the Shoreline Lake park area. This private company, established in 2000, is incorporated in California. Christina Ferrari is the owner and President and entered into the relationship with the City in 2000. Given the origins of Shoreline Lake, the City of Mountain View’s transformation of 544 acres of junkyard, hog farm, two substandard dumps, low lying flood plains, and a sewage treatment plant into a nature preserve was quite an undertaking. Partnering with Silicon Shores ensured that the area can provide the services and amenities that the surrounding urban population and visitors would appreciate finding within a nature preserve. Vision & Mission The company’s goal for the Shoreline Lake area is to create an experience unmatched within Silicon Valley for residents and workers of the South Bay, and beyond. The centerpiece of the Park, Shoreline Lake is a man- made, 50-acre, salt water lake filled by waters pumped in from the San Francisco Bay that circulate back out into Permanente Creek. However, a densely populated, heavily-developed area surrounds the Park, which includes many well-known hi-tech firms (e.g., Google headquarters is right next door). Even so, Shoreline Lake, a safe and expansive waterway for many water sports, is also a wildlife sanctuary and home to many rare, migratory birds, such as the burrowing owl.

  • VTA's BART Silicon Valley—Phase II Extension Project Draft SEIS/SEIR
    Chapter 10 Agency and Community Participation Over the years, a number of environmental studies have been prepared for VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Program. A combined Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIS/EIR) and Draft 4(f) Evaluation was released for public comment in March 2004 and addressed the 16-mile BART Extension. However, VTA suspended the NEPA process but continued the CEQA process, and the VTA Board of Directors approved the Final EIR in December 2004. VTA certified a Final Supplemental EIR for the project in June 2007. A Draft EIS was released for public comment in March 2009, and a Final EIS was published in March 2010. The Draft and Final documents included three alternatives: a no-build project, a 10-mile project, and a 16-mile project. On June 24, 2010, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued a Record of Decision (ROD) approving the 10-mile project from Warm Springs to Berryessa—designated the Phase I Berryessa Extension Project. This decision formally approved Phase I to move forward into detailed design and construction. The current Supplemental EIS/Subsequent EIR (SEIS/SEIR) now analyzes the remaining 6 miles of the original 16-mile project that was analyzed in the 2009 EIS, now called Phase II. Refer to Chapter 1, Purpose and Need, Section 1.4, BART Extension Project History, for a full description of the history of the Bart Extension. This chapter describes agency and community participation conducted for the Phase II Project during the preparation of this SEIS/SEIR. For a description of all agency and community participation conducted for prior environmental documents, refer to the documents listed in Section 1.4, BART Extension Project History.

The problem with the current system is that it is designed for wealthier consumers, while less fortunate consumers such as the homeless have different requirements for them. In our researched, we attemepted to reconfigure the android operating system so that it would be more tailored to the homeless. We first researched what features the homeless value in a mobile device.
