Belwood Resident April Maiten’s Mosaics on Display at Silicon Valley Open Studios
Flamingo mosaic created by Belwood of Los Gatos resident April Maiten
Belwood resident, teacher and artist April Maiten creates beautiful and award winning mosaics. Her artwork will be on display during the Silicon Valley Open Studios weekend, May 12 and 13, 2012, from 11am to 5pm at 136 Belvue Drive, Los Gatos. April invites the neighborhood to stop by:
“If you’d like to preview my artwork, please check out my website: aprilarts.com. I will be hosting five other artists with a variety of art forms, including jewelry, fine drawing, watercolors, and acrylics. Find Mother’s Day, graduation, and special commemorative gifts and cards while enjoying the artwork and visiting with neighbors.”
Traffic Calming Vote
Traffic calming issues on Belwood Gateway which impact neighbors on nearby streets have been the recent conversation in this part of Los Gatos. As a followup to a recent traffic calming meeting meeting, residents on Belwood Gateway, Bacigalupi Drive and others were recently asked to vote on a proposal to block traffic from going through from Belwood Gateway to Almond Blossom. Homeowners on Bacigalupi Drive and Harwood Road are concerned that this would cause a tremendous increase in traffic and speeding, so are trying to prevent it.
We are awaiting the results of the vote. (Interestingly, it was “one vote per household” but certainly in some homes not all of the residents agreed on how to vote….)
This has been an eye-opening experience as many of us did not know, until recently, what the procedure was for getting the town’s attention regarding areas with too much speeding.

Do you know who the owner might be? If so, please let him or her know that the tortoise was lost but is found!
Hopefully we can help reunite the family soon.
