Mountain View plans to remove traffic lights at downtown intersection

Mountain View is developing plans to remove the traffic lights at a major downtown intersection in favor of a roundabout that includes upgraded bike lanes and crosswalks. On Monday evening, the Council Transportation Committee unanimously backed a proposal to redesign the Castro and California street intersection, which is part of a larger project to make permanent the closure of three blocks of Castro Street to cars. Earlier this year, the City Council approved concept designs to add 21-foot-wide central crosswalks to the Villa and Dana street intersections.

Alice Cooper in San Jose

Most people clean out the attic and find holiday decorations. Alice Cooper presumably finds something requiring a permit. The shock-rock pioneer brings his Alice’s Attic Tour to San Jose Civic, continuing a career built on hard-rock hooks and theatrical bad behavior. His catalog runs from “School’s Out” and “Billion Dollar Babies” to “Poison,” with horror-movie imagery and vaudeville excess woven into the spectacle. Last year’s The Revenge of Alice Cooper reunited the original band’s surviving members for their first full-length studio album since 1973, with producer Bob Ezrin returning to the controls. Retirement apparently remains the one frightening concept Cooper has no interest in exploring.

A spirited night at Bella Saratoga

Days before the spookiest night of the year, we braved a local haunt for delicious Italian food. On a windy October evening, we felt a sharp chill as we stepped into Bella Saratoga, a restaurant located in downtown Saratoga that is rumored to be haunted. Previously built by Samuel Cloud as a home for him and his family, the building is infamous for paranormal activity.
