Trail task force
discusses issues
At the city council meeting on April 2 the Gardiner Park/Wildcat Creek Trail Task force will be presenting an informational status report on issues regarding the closure and possible reopening of the trail connecting Gardiner Park to Springhill Court.
The task force will be discussing options, including taking down fences and entering a joint-use agreement with the Santa Clara Valley Water District, which owns the park. In August 2002, the water district closed the trail due to a privacy and safety complaint made by a neighbor. Residents opposed the closure and requested that the trail be reopened.
The task force held several public meetings in which residents were encouraged to give their input. For further information, contact Cary Bloomquist at 408.868.1258.
Bookbrowse.com
founder at library
The Friends of the Saratoga Libraries is inviting residents to meet and greet entrepreneur Davina Morgan-Witts at the Immanuel Lutheran Church on April 7 at 7 p.m. Morgan-Witts started Bookbrowse.com, which is an Internet site designed for busy book enthusiasts looking for information about best-sellers, authors and links to book groups. The Saratoga resident will talk about how and why she started her business, in addition to books she recommends. For more information, call 408.867.9571.
