North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan Working Group
City of Palo Alto
In May 2018, I was appointed to the North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan (NVCAP) Working Group as a community member who worked in the NVCAP boundaries. We had our first working group meeting in the fall of 2018. I attended two working group meetings before being appointed to the Planning & Transportation Commission (PTC).
