Members of the Committee and Staff discussed the following: 1) concern that the area identified for the Phase 1 Transit Options Study does not include the entire length of SR 85; 2) areas outside of the Study area, such as Highway 101 in South San José, Almaden Expressway, and Highway 87 as well as associated interchanges, will be considered as they have an influence on traffic patterns along SR 85; and 3) implementing long term solutions and not short term fixes.

    THE Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society Established 1926 AVOCET The Newsletter of the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society September-October 2017 Panoche Valley: Saving an Important Bird Area (IBA) by Shani Kleinhaus, Environmental Advocate oncluding almost eight years of advocacy and litiga- tion, SCVAS, Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter, and Defenders of Wildlife have signed a settlement agree- Cment that allows a photovoltaic solar farm to be built on about 1,000 acres of Panoche Valley floor, while at the same time preserving 26,000 acres, including 4,000 acres of valley floor grasslands, as habitat for endangered species. Califor- nia Department of Fish and Wildlife and Con Edison have also signed the agreement. We are proud of this achievement! Monterey Audubon Society first alerted SCVAS to the plans to construct a solar farm in Panoche Valley. In 2009, plans for solar arrays and supportive infrastructure encompassed most of the valley floor, as well as Little Panoche Valley. No mitigation was offered for the inevitable loss of habitat for the many endangered species that call the valley home, so we started mobilizing. In early 2010 we organized a work- shop that formed an alliance of farmers and environmental organizations in opposition to the project. This alliance has never faltered. In the years that followed, our advocacy and permit require- ments by state and federal wildlife agencies resulted in changing project ownership as investors came and went. The project footprint shrunk and mitigation lands were added. San Benito County produced additional environmental re- view documents, asserting repeatedly that the construction of a solar project on thousands of acres of valley floor could Ferruginous Hawk by Debra Shearwater cont’d on page 4 Wednesday, September 20, 2017 Cuba - The Isle of Endemics: Birds and Bats! with Dave Johnston Wednesday, October 18, 2017 Understanding California's Whales with Ted Cheeseman The Avocet 1 Please carpool if possible; bring binoculars, field guides, layered September-October Field Trips clothing.

The $6 million land purchase for the developing Three Creeks Trail was made possible by the City of San José (the City), the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (Open Space Authority) and the Parks and Recreation Department of Santa Clara County (the County). This land will add an additional mile to the City’s interconnected trail network. The Three Creeks Trail is designed to expand recreation and transportation options within the urban core, and create linkages between the Los Gatos Creek, Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek regional trails. “This project would not have been possible without the commitment and partnership of the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority and the County of Santa Clara,” said Mayor Chuck Reed. “The Three Creeks Trail will serve as a crucial link in our existing urban trail network and bring us closer to achieving our Green Vision of creating 100 miles of trails within San José.” As lead negotiator and title holder for the land, the City finalized the land purchase from Union Pacific Railroad on December 23, 2011.
