Los Altos Community Foundation is offering options for residents seeking to support victims of the ongoing wildfires in Northern and Southern California.

The first community engagement meeting on the Homestead Corridor Safe Route to School Study is scheduled 6-8 p.m. Monday in the Homestead High School library, 21370 Homestead Road, Cupertino.

A task force whose job is to identify traffic concerns and possible solutions along the Homestead corridor leads the study. The corridor is the stretch of road between the intersection of Grant Road and Foothill Expressway in Los Altos and the intersection of Homestead Road, Hollenbeck Avenue and North Stelling Road, including entry and exit points. The task force aims to create a safer path for students traveling along the route to West Valley Elementary School, Cupertino Middle School and Homestead High.

Residents can expect traffic delays along First Street Tuesday through Thursday next week as the city of Los Altos undertakes a road-resurfacing project along First between West Edith Avenue and State Street.
