The Cuesta Park neighborhood got a lot more colorful Friday, as nearly 50 families participated in a display of sidewalk chalk art on Friday.
The colorful creations aimed to bring a bit of cheer while complying with social distancing mandates as Mountain View adjusts to live under the statewide stay-at-home order aimed at slowing down the rapid spread of coronavirus.

Thank you, community artists young and old! I saw one of these chalk artpieces on my walk yesterday and it cheered me up! I hope this idea blossoms all over the city.
Wonderful story but if they do something like this again, please double the distance out of an abundance of caution, and ensure supplies aren’t shared.
To the people above who didn’t understand what this was, Double the distance? It was families doing it individually in front of their own driveways. Should they double the distance inside their homes as well?
No groups, no shared items.
You failed in trying to suck the joy out of something joyful 😉
To all the chalk artists, thank you.
Please consider re-drawing again after the rains-
This seems a great, under control, way of artistic expression for young and old alike.
But – in the same Cuesta Park neighborhood, over the last several days – I have seen several groups of younger teenagers, strolling around together obviously oblivious to what the COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICE has issued as mandatory personal distancing. Groups of 8 to over a dozen.
Parents – please monitor your teens and do not let them FREE RANGE at this time.
If you see a group of kids violating the social distancing, with groups of 8-12, for goodness sake, take their picture and post it to next door.
The parents may be 100% unaware when their kid says he’s going out alone.
