Mon-  \nday’s no-vote session was scheduled to update the council members on the progress of the projects’ environmental study, explain a few changes and introduce the village concept.  \nBasically, the idea calls for the integration of the expanded Stanford Hospital, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, shopping center and proposed hotel into the existing community.  \n“The essential strategy is how do you create a sequence of visible, public spaces” stretching from downtown and the train station, through the shopping center to the Medical Center, Fukuji said.  \n“This whole thing could be a very active pedestrian (area),” Fukuji said.  \nStanford Medical Center is proposing a complex demolition/rehabilitation/construction project—in-  \nEDUCATION  \nSchool-bond opponent lays out case  \nPoor financial analysis among criticisms in Wayne Martin’s all-consuming campaign  \nby Arden Pennell  \nH e’s been getting up at 3  \na.m. and going to bed at 10  \np.m. for weeks, and Palo Alto resident Wayne Martin isn’t likely to stop soon.

That’s about $445 in taxes annually for a house or business assessed at $1 million.  \nThe tax may continue until 2042 or later to fund the $378 million in bonds, depending on how property values change, the school district’s Co-chief","cbCaiuCRbxkuJuna","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuCRbxkuJuna","pdf",8489720,43,"English","# Upfront\n## City wants Stanford expansions to create ‘village’ feel\n# Education\n## School-bond opponent lays out case\n# Courts\n## Judge issues gag order in landlord case","[{\"question\":\"What is the “village concept” discussed for Stanford expansions?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to integrate the expanded Stanford Hospital, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, shopping center, and proposed hotel into the surrounding community with a sequence of visible public spaces and pedestrian areas.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Wayne Martin’s school-bond campaign argue?\",\"answer\":\"Martin leads an anti-bond effort intended to expose what he sees as faulty financial planning behind the $378 million school-bond measure on the June 3 ballot.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the judge’s gag order restrict in the landlord case?\",\"answer\":\"The order prohibits defendants, lawyers, and witnesses from talking to reporters, and court files may also be sealed due to media interest.\"}]","Palo Alto Weekly - May 7, 2008 Issue - Key Local News and Updates | PDF",108]
