Located next to a footbridge spanning Francisquito Creek and NW of the historic tree (for which the city of Palo Alto derived its name) is a citizen memorial that reads:
THIS BRIDGE IS DEDICATED TO THE
MEMORY OF
IRA E. BONDE
FOR HIS EFFORTS TO PRESERVE
SAN FRANCISQUITO CREEK
JULY 2001 |
I did a little research on Ira Bonde and found out that he was once mayor of the nearby city of Menlo Park. He's credited with trying to improve the condition of San Francisquito Creek in the 1960s and 1970s. He lived from 1918 to 1993.
