The Charleston Retention Basin, a 6-acre marsh and nature trail just east of Shoreline Boulevard, is the culmination of an unlikely alliance between Google and environmental groups. The project restores a swath of wetland habitat for native flora and fauna and a variety of sensitive bird species right in between corporate offices and parking lots. For visitors, the main attraction along the retention basin is a new trail system with footbridges encompassing the natural habitat.

WHAT’S NEW: PICKLEBALL PICKS UP MOMENTUM For nearly two years, Mountain View’s “ambassador of pickleball” Monica Williams has led a campaign to bring more pickleball courts to local parks. In April, the city opened three courts at Rengstorff Park. Williams, 77, who teaches pickleball, has recruited hundreds of local residents to the tennis-like paddle sport. She encourages people to stop by the Rengstorff courts and give pickleball a try during a drop-in game. “It’s just so healthy to play. (It’s) easy on the joints, it has a social aspect and it keeps seniors moving,” she said.

WHAT’S NEW: CARING FOR HOMELESS STUDENTS The problem of community-college students who have unstable housing has become a hot issue in California and locally, with state Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Palo Alto, authoring AB 302, a proposed state mandate that would require community colleges with parking facilities to allow overnight parking for homeless students. A 2018 survey found that 11% of Foothill students who responded to the survey are homeless and 41% are housing insecure. Statewide, nearly one in five community college students are either homeless or do not have a stable place to live.

A survey found that 488 buildings containing more than 5,000 housing units in Mountain View appear to have the faulty design. Cost estimates for complying with the retrofit program range from $6,000 to $20,000 per unit or $25,000 to $100,000 per building, according to city staff, and it’s unclear how far grants and loan assistance will go. Nearly all of the soft-story buildings identified in Mountain View were built between 1950 and 1980.

WHAT’S NEW: A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ON WHEELS Residents have formed a new neighborhood association aimed at changing the public’s perception of the city’s homelessness problem. The advocacy group, Mountain View Vehicle Residents, represents people living in their vehicles. The small steering committee has connected with hundreds of households living out of vehicles, and distributes regular bilingual newsletters across the city, inviting people to attend their monthly meetings. In June, the group hosted the first-ever “meet thy neighbor” barbecue at Rengstorff Park to foster a dialogue between vehicle dwellers and other community members.
