Hi all, My name is Abhay Bhorkar. I am a board-member of RONA (www.ro-na.org) [River Oaks Neighborhood Association]. I am going to put together some blogs for...
All, I appreciate seeing lots of activism around preserving or improving the quality of life in our neighborhood, but I'm having a hard time keeping track of...
Leigh, Thanks for your feedback. I've been too busy this week to post Abhay's new blog to the RONA website, but be assured it's on my list of things to do this...
Neighbors, Just a quick reminder, we need a strong show of opposition at the City Council meeting on 8/14. Please save the date! This is the meeting where it's...
Folks, I just posted a batch of updates to ro-na.org. Included this round: * SJ trail report * NSJ Taskforce Announcement * Abhay's blog * SJ Mercury editorial...
I am not a tree expert, but I have noticed the Palms on the Sony property do not look good. They are turning brown and looking like they need water or some...
Yes, the RONA board spoke to Kansen Chu, about this very issue. We don't know what Sony is going to do if anything. We will be meeting with the Sony people...

Mark, I think bringing sufficient schools is the top priority. My point is that there are much more students than the school district counts. The reason for...
Hi Vassil, Yes, I agree that City is using the counting methods that support their theory everywhere be in schools, be it traffic. And note that once the...
I think Vassil is correct. If people had more acceptable local options they might choose to send their kids to public versus private schools. All of the school...
Just a thought along these lines - I would think the city staff might take into account not only the school age children but the ever burgeoning population of...
Please come out and support Resident Representatives, Jean Marlowe and Mike Bertram on the NSJ Task Force tomorrow night, Wednesday, July 25 from 6:30 PM to...

Folks, Right now this forum is very River Oaks specific. Since the NSJ Taskforce has finally succeeded in getting interest from our neighboring communities...
Hi Laura, That's a good idea. If anyone has a good picture, representative of NSJ, I'd be happy to replace the current one. Or, I'd be happy to go out and...
I was thinking a simplified map, perhaps like this one: http://www.sanjoseca.gov/planning/nsj/maps/areamap.htm Maybe with a collage of images from around the...
I just found this little webpage: http://www.walkscore.com/ From Parkside, I got: Walk Score: 22 out of 100 25 - 50 = Not Walkable: Only a few destinations are...
