At the March 28 Los Altos Master Plan advisory meeting, Anderson Brule Architects (ABA) presented a summary of the findings from the Community Forum held in early March, as well as common themes expressed at focus group meetings, key interviews and the community survey.

ABA reported that the community is interested in maintaining existing city services within the civic center property, the library and programs for seniors and youth.

Additionally, residents suggested improved recreational facilities for indoor and outdoor activities, gathering spaces for large and small groups and open space.

Common themes captured in the survey include providing opportunities for lifelong learning, offering facilities that serve across generations and partnering with other organizations to expand community services.

A PowerPoint presentation prepared by ABA that captures the comments and ideas expressed during the community information-gathering phase and general information about the Master Plan project is available at www.losaltoscommunitycenter.org.

The next Advisory Committee meetings are scheduled 7:30 a.m. Friday and May 9 in council chambers, 1 N. San Antonio Road.
