Parking Lot, Bike Rack and Future Plans


Dear Fellow Pool Users,

As you already know, the front parking lot redo at Fremont High School is complete.   Hooray!  See photo below.  The new exit and better flow should provide much needed relief for patrons of the pool.  And, wouldn’t you agree that the attractiveness of the lot is 100% improved! 



A next step was to get a bike rack.  Lisa Rosenblum has confirmed that the bike rack is on the way and will be placed in a location that swim users said was desirable.  Many ‘thank you’s’ to Ms. Rosenblum,  from the City of Sunnyvale, who has been super helpful.  The photo below depicts where the bike rack will be placed.


Lisa says, "The rack will be positioned in the same direction as the bike in the picture. It has been approved by the District, City and CSC."

Next items include the completion of the new student drop-off lane and bus lane on Fremont Avenue.  An additional student drop off lane will reduce the demand on the front parking lot.  As you have noticed, this is a big project and we are very proud of our High school District for taking on this needed improvement.  If you get a chance, please thank District staff or board members as folks don’t usually get too much praise for working on parking lots.

Finally, please watch for more news related to our 10th anniversary!  The pool’s grand opening occurred on June 26, 2002.  Since the parking area was under construction, we did not have a ceremony at the pool as we thought we might, but we will do something to commemorate this milestone.

Keep swimming!
