Additional funding for Cupertino’s proposed Mary Avenue bike/ped bridge over 280 will be on the VTA Board of Directors meeting agenda 5:30 pm this coming Thursday, November 1.

While the construction of this bridge seems to be more expensive than the original estimate, can you imagine how much easier commuting between Cupertino, Sunnyvale and West San Jose will be with a bridge built over 280 at Mary Avenue?

Help us support this bicycle and pedestrian bridge and show up to this meeting!

District 1 Traffic Calming Meeting
Date: Tuesday, October 30, 2007
Time: 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Location: Cypress Senior Center- 403 S. Cypress Ave., San José

On October 30, 2007, there will be a Traffic Calming Community Meeting for District 1 Residents. This meeting was scheduled after the Council voted unanimously to hold citywide traffic calming meetings to gather input that will be used to guide updates to San José’s Traffic Calming Policy.

This meeting will be overseen by Council member Pierluigi Oliverio, Jim Helmer (Director of the Department of Transportation), Laura Wells of the Department of Transportation, and Captain Diane Urban and Lieutenant Jeff Smith from San José Police Department.

We hope to get your thoughts to ensure that our updated Traffic Calming Policy is able to serve the public in a consistent and fair manner. Once all of the community meetings are conducted, recommended changes to the Traffic Calming Policy will be presented to Council December.

Hope to see you there, your input is valuable!
