Land Ho!

Last Thursday's VTA Board meeting saw the approval of a sale of land on West San Carlos Street to developer Green Republic, LLC.  The land sale was made to facilitate construction of high-density housing near the light rail line to Campbell.  This despite fierce neighborhood opposition to the proposal.  The Board meeting also saw a reform proposal deferred until August, to give the Board time to consider the proposal.

Live notes on last Thursday's VTA Board meeting will be available soon.

Our Next Meeting... 

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, May 22 at 6:00pm at the Center for Training and Careers (CTC) conference room.  The CTC is at 1600 Las Plumas Avenue (corner of Nipper Ave.) in San Jose.  It's one block west of King Road.  Take the #77 bus from Alum Rock/King or the Great Mall to King and Las Plumas and walk one block west to the CTC building.

We are attempting to get VTA staff to come to this meeting to answer questions on why there has been no bus or train outreach on meetings for the agency's long range plan, VTP 2030.

You can help promote our May 22 meeting by downloading our flyer (Adobe Acrobat PDF) and distributing it to fellow passengers.
