Niles Community Unity

This section is for discussion of land developments, requests for variances, and anything else that affects our common interests. It also includes tracking the significant votes and who made them.

Niles is the heart, the peace without building. I can drive down 680 S and see all the hill development. It's sick. I can head north on Mission and see everything in Hayward. All the building on the hills. It's nice to have a break and respect wilderness between Milpitas and Hayward, on our open hills. -- Colleen Riviera Dr.

Driving/Parking Issue in Downtown Niles See all 10 replies
Does anyone know if there is anything we can do to make it safer for business customers to back out of the angled parking spaces along the west side of Niles Boulevard downtown? On numerous occasions, I've come close to being hit while backing out of them. So, when I'm driving through there and someone is trying to back out, I always stop and let them.

Rehab Center See all 5 replies
Your e-mail was pretty thorough on all the possibilities for conjestion and shortcuts, but I'd like to add one more "new nightmare" to our end of Linda Dr. That new rehab center that went in between the church and the overpass. People are stopping on Niles Blvd.to turn left into the center, and slowing down coming from over the overpass to turn right into the driveway. Extremely Dangerous addition to an already bad intersection. People coming and going should really be encouraged to use the other driveway leading into the church.

Niles Clean-Up See all 3 replies
I've peppered the e-group recently with comments about roadside garbage and derelict buildings in Niles. I got off my soapbox today and tackled the trash and weeds that ugh up our image. To start, I'm focusing on our front door - the Niles Boulevard corridor from Mission to the car wash (and the wooden Niles sign hidden behind a tree). A couple of hardworking Niles folks pitched in this afternoon to weed, sweep and haul trash and wet leaves away from the sidewalk in front of the Henkel building.
