Priorities for Los Altos
“Local assemblies of citizens constitute the strength of free nations. Town meetings are to liberty what primary schools are to science; they bring it within the people’s reach, they teach [people] how to use and how to enjoy it.”

Change and Progress
Los Altos is always seeking a careful balance: Enjoying prosperity through vital connections with the valley, the state, and the world beyond, while also preserving a haven for our family, friends, and neighbors.

Safety and Preparedness
A top priority is the never-ending focus on improving safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists as they traverse our streets and sidewalks.

Infrastructure and Environment
Nothing is more civilized than clean water flowing easily, sewers draining unnoticed, trash removed efficiently, public areas maintained neatly, and streets and sidewalks smooth and functional.

Community and Belonging
Diversity is a blessing. Los Altos is endlessly fascinating, where we see different faces, hear different voices, experience different cultures.
