RE: AGENDA ITEM 2.13: High Speed Rail MOU
Dear Mayor Liccardo and Esteemed Councilmembers,
PAC*SJ strongly supports Councilmember Peralez’s Agenda Item 2.13 proposed memorandum and we urge its unanimous adoption by City Council today. As you are no doubt aware, there is enormous uncertainty surrounding the fate of the historic landmark Diridon Station and its place (or lack thereof) in the in-progress Diridon Integrated Station Concept (DISC) Plan. While planned track expansions, realignments, and the addition of High Speed Rail service will require significant station additions and expansions, we believe that this modernization can and must include preservation and adaptive reuse of the existing historic station structure. This effort will obviously require careful planning and close coordination with other elements of the DISC and DSAP plans, and must be planned in tandem with these other elements— not after these other elements are already set in stone.
In December 2021, PAC*SJ included Diridon Station in our first-ever Endangered Properties List (what we’re calling the “Endangered Eight”: www.preservation.org/e8) and are currently circulating a public petition (www.preservation.org/dontdemodiridon) calling on the City and other key stakeholders to prioritize preservation as a guiding principle of the DISC planning process. The public response (600+ signatures and counting) has been illuminating: there is overwhelming support for the station’s preservation, and overwhelming incredulity that the City would even consider its demolition. We attach the petition and its signatories for your consideration.

Don't Demo Diridon!
To Mayor Sam Liccardo, Members of the San José City Council, and Diridon Integrated Station Concept Plan member organizations (City of San Jose, Caltrain, CA High-Speed Rail Authority, and VTA):
I support the preservation of San Jose's historic Diridon Station! Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, designated a San Jose City Landmark, and subject to a legally-binding preservation covenant, Diridon Station must ƌĞŵĂŝŶĂŶŝŶƚĞŐƌĂůƉĂƌƚŽĨ^ĂŶ:ŽƐĞ͛ƐƵƌďĂŶĨĂďƌŝĐ for current and future generations. While planned station expansions and modifications are necessary, modernization must include preservation and adaptive reuse of the existing historic Diridon Station. The complete absence of any clear preservation strategy in the current Diridon Integrated Station Concept (DISC) Plan is simply unacceptable. Preservation must be a guiding principle of the DISC plan, not an inconvenient afterthought. Peer cities around the nation and the world have embraced the preservation and adaptive reuse of their historic train stations as bedrock strategies for urban redevelopment and creative place-making. San Jose should demand nothing less for Diridon Station, and must be proactive, comprehensive, and publicly- transparent in its planning efforts to do so.
Sincerely,

San Jose is starting to look like a city unintelligently planned, new construction needs to fit into what is already present when ever possible. Thank you. 2021-10-14T19:57:50ZLinda A Reis 951254248

2021-10-16T15:28:13ZTom Dundas 95134Enough with the destruction of the older buildings to overpopulate the area.
Build underground with the Bart expansion and over the tracks. The station should be the iconic gateway to the area. People need to remember the past and how life used to be so people can appreciate change and have a sense of what is was like to live 80+ years ago. Younger generation have no idea and they need to respect the past. I have seen the supposed improvements made in SJC and poor planning and complete disregard of the citizens concerns. Hire and architect and give them the directive to save and incorporate without destroying/remodeling the current structure. If you want tkt expand, great.
Leave the old as I find the building interesting.

2021-10-15T18:57:00ZAlison England 95125Planners were asleep at the wheel during the '80s when so much of downtown was demolished. Stunning, historic buildings were destroyed that could have given the downtown area real cache. The train station should have historic status and be retained. That would not preclude adding other elements to it, in the vicinity. Planners need to wake up and realize you can't replace fabulous architecture. Find a way to feature it, not dispose of it out of supposed convenience.

2021-10-20T00:58:05ZCharlene Flack 94301I am a 4th generation San Josean with many fond memories of the station taking trains in the 1950’s to Monterey with my Grandmother and taking the trains to San Francisco to work in the 70’s. It is beautiful and must be preserved. 2021-10-15T02:07:58ZGeorgiana Flaherty 95112

2021-10-20T02:00:56ZWilliam Foley 94061The Souther Pacific Cahill Station is one of the few tangible links to San Jose's history that has an easily justifiable life in the present day. Requiring no special modification, and standing just as it does today, it can continue to serve its purpose as a functional transit hub and historical asset to the community, communicating the value of history in an area so rapt with the future.
Acknowledging and protecting Diridon Station should be the chief priority of the City in redevelopment plans for this area.

This is a beautiful building and should be preserved, not demolished. The new buildings going up these days are cold glass, stone and metal high boxes that have no charm or character. It would be a shame to bulldoze this old historic treasure.

2021-10-15T07:45:47ZNancy Nielson 95116It's important for San Jose to retain what small amount of its storied history tht remains. It shouldn't just be all high-tech. Keeping Diridon Station helps San Jose keep it soul.

I've traveled to Philadelphia (twice - 1950 & 1977), Denver (three times) & Seattle using Diridon as my starting point. Not to mention umpteen trips to San Francisco for shopping & the Giants. Incorporate it into the new design, but DO NOT DEMO it!

Losing the historic Diridon Station would be an aesthetic disaster as great as if we had lost the California theatre of St. Joseph's Cathedral. Dirodon Station is a structure on a par with resources such as these. By all means, upgrade its technical infrastructure, if needed, but leave it aesthetically alone! We--and future generations--will thank you.

2021-10-20T02:28:31ZLawrence Wendt 95118The Diridon Station with is classic and historic architectural lines is among the few last and quickly disappearing downtown structures which anchors the city to its vibrant past as well as continues to serve a vital function to many who use it every day. How often can that be said of the many newer and more recently renovated buildings in the downtown area which are vacant now? 2021-10-06T10:12:16ZClaire Wernecke 94131
