7. Public Comment
Vice Mayor Rosemary Kamei opened the floor for public comment, starting with in-person and then virtual.

● Chris Giangreco (in-person): Volunteered to help set up a walking tour for the western segment of the corridor. During the conversation, he mentioned that he knows the Vice Mayor is working with San Jose's Department of Transportation (DOT) to develop a traffic management plan for the upcoming holidays, but he worries that it might not be effective. He also commented on the innovation zone that former Vice Mayor Chappie Jones initiated.
● Jennifer Sheeran (in-person): Showed appreciation for the comments that were made regarding bike utilizations. She mentioned that if the corridor’s design was more bike-friendly, she could see people utilizing their bikes more to run errands and generally commute throughout the corridor.

She stated that because of her current state of health, she cannot use bikes as a mode of transportation, and because of this,

Page 7 ends

she depends on car usage. She also commented that none of the three cities, Santa Clara, San José, and Cupertino, have been certified in their housing element by HCD, and that because of this, they have been forced to rezone, which raises concerns for her.
● Tracy Johnson (online): Stated that some companies offer parking facilities on their premises to their employees, while others advise their employees to park in the nearby neighborhoods, which may pose concerns. Tracy also inquired whether the vision and implementation plan would be subject to public voting. ● Jennifer (online): Asked for clarification on how the housing elements of the three cities impact or change the corridor. Additionally, she mentioned that none of the three cities have been given certification by HCD. ● Jennifer (online): Stated that the housing element requires cities to rezone vast amounts of frontage on Stevens Creek Boulevard and San Carlos Boulevard.

High-rise buildings may require changes to the current frontage of the corridor which may affect public transportation. She mentioned that she is concerned about the loss of infrastructure and trees and that too many cut-outs will go to high-rise housing.
● Randy (online): Asked if it is a stated intent of the Stevens Creek Corridor Vision Study to fight the climate crisis.
● Randy (online): Asked how all of the enthusiasm for adding bike lanes to various roads in the county translated into actual bike lane usage where bike lanes have previously been added. He also inquired if the City of San José or the county has statistics on bike lane usage.
● Jennifer (online): Stated that she wants the project team to ensure that the public is not excluded from the project.
● Randy (online): Asked if anything from this study will be actionable or if it is just a roadmap.
● Randy (online): Asked if achieving a 15-minute city is a defined objective for the Vision Study.
● Seema (online): Stated that she is very excited about this project and that she is really proud that the three cities have started collaborating. She also mentioned that she did some research on developments that will be happening along the corridor and found that there is a 59-unit housing development coming up on 3941 Stevens Creek in Santa Clara, a 250-room hotel in San José, and 267-unit apartment in Cupertino with an addition of another 9-unit development. This will result in many people and cars that will come into Stevens Creek Boulevard, and we need to come up with another mode of transportation to accommodate all of those people.

Questions and comments from Steering Committee:

Page 8 ends

● Councilmember Anthony Becker: Mentioned that he understands the concern with dealerships encouraging their staff to park in neighborhoods and has seen how permitted parking has now been enforced because of i t. Additionally, he encouraged the consultant team to host the corridor tour early in the new year.

He has also seen shoppers from Westfield Valley Fair park in neighborhoods to avoid paying parking fees at Valley Fair. He also mentioned that he would like to see some kind of pedestrian overhead crossing to avoid traffic congestion.

A Steering Committee of elected officials from the participating agencies, a community advisory group, residents, businesses, and community groups5 provided the necessary leadership in a cooperative planning process to create a strong and sustainable Vision to guide corridor transportation investments for the next 50 years.6
