Accomplishments

Recently, SVMTB worked with Peninsula Open Space Trust, POST, in the passage of Measure AA, and worked with the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority to pass Measure Q. Both measures improve access to hiking and biking opportunities, and protects and preserves environment. We also participated in the Citizen Advisory Committee and worked with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROPD) staff to identify 25 of the highest priority projects for Measure AA.
