Two community meetings have been held on this subject, but few Dish walkers have shown up. The audience consisted largely of Stanford neighbors who are tired of so much traffic on Stanford Avenue and on their streets.
Stanford Community Relations will take additional comments on this subject before it goes to County of Santa Clara for approval at communityrelations@Stanford.edu. Please let them know that you care about access to the Dish and appreciate the health benefits of Stanford’s beneficence, but that Coyote Hill Road is too far from the gate and too cumbersome to cross busy Page Mill and walk so far along Junipero Serra before hitting the first hill. You can ask Stanford Community Relations to be put on their mailing list for information about Dish parking.
Also we have formed a Committee for Dish Access and hope you will consent to joining our email list by sending an email to CommitteeforDishAccess@gmail.com. This will not result in your name or email address being sent to anyone else without your consent. It just enables us to keep you informed and to organize the community if future opportunities come up for your input.
If people who hike the Dish don’t speak up, we could find ourselves without access to this wonderful space.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS LINK TO FRIENDS WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN DISH ACCESS.
