Back in 2019, the city of Mountain View approved a controversial
ban of oversized vehicles on narrow streets, citing traffic and
safety concerns. Advocates, led by former Mountain View mayor Lenny
Siegel, responded by amassing enough signatures for a referendum on
this November ballot. Measure C seeks to uphold the city’s limit on
where and how long oversized vehicles can park. Proponents of the
measure say they're concerned about parking issues and waste
hazards. Opponents say the measure does nothing to address the
issue of homelessness in the heart of Silicon Valley and the
sweeping language of the ordinance puts a blanket ban on RVs. We'll
break down the arguments for and against Measure C.
