DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
As fall is right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to provide updates on some of the larger plans that the Community Services Department is working on currently. These include the Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan as well as the Biodiversity and Urban Forest Plan.
Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan: This Plan is a roadmap and shared vision for the future of parks, recreation and community services and is shaped by community values, unmet needs and evolving demographics and trends. The strategic planning process kicked off in August 2023 with community and stakeholder meetings and launch of the project website at ImagineMVParks.com. In fall 2023 and early 2024, the consultant completed assessments and administered a statistically reliable citywide survey. S taff will continue working with the consultant over the next several months to complete an analysis of the data and begin formulation of recommendations. Additional meetings to review the draft plan are anticipated to take place in early 2025.
Biodiversity and Urban Forest Plan: This Plan will inform and influence the vegetation, habitats and trees in projects, development and ordinances for environmental sustainability, climate resiliency and health benefits. The Plan will integrate and update the 2015 Community Tree Master Plan into a broader vision and blueprint for the management and enhancement of the urban forest in Mountain View. Public outreach for the project kicked off in June 2024 with the BiodiversityMV.com webpage and a community pop-up event. Public workshops, additional pop-ups and a community survey will take place over fall 2024. Staff anticipates bringing a draft plan to City Council for adoption in late 2025.
Please follow both of these exciting projects through their project websites. We look forward to developing these long-term plans alongside the community to better meet the needs of Mountain View.
