Expanding Safe Parking – Expanding upon pre-pandemic safe parking efforts, Supervisor Simitian urged cities within his district to think creatively about underutilized parking lots that could provide safe parking for individuals living in their vehicles. Hearing the call for partners, the City of Mountain View and the City of Palo Alto stepped forward to provide safe parking sites. In November 2021, the Board approved additional funding to support safe parking sites through June 2022.
