We request that you agendize for your April 1, 2020 meeting a public hearing for consideration of nomination of the Bank of California building as a City Landmark.

It is the only example of Pelli’s personal body of work in San Jose. In addition, the building may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

The letter indicates that this building is significant not only to San Jose, but regionally, and as part of a worldwide effort to bring appreciation to Brutalist architecture.

  • San Jose Moves Forward with Proposal to Be First City in Us to Develop
    Press Release Office of Economic Development FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAN JOSE MOVES FORWARD WITH PROPOSAL TO BE FIRST CITY IN U.S. TO DEVELOP ORGANICS‐TO‐ENERGY BIOGAS FACILITY Large scale production of renewable energy to further San Jose Green Vision goals, grow innovation and create jobs SAN JOSE, CALIF., June 17, 2009—The San Jose City Council has moved San Jose closer to becoming 100 percent energy independent by authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop guidelines and potential lease terms for the development of an organics‐to‐energy biogas facility on a 40‐acre site near the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant. The biogas facility is planned to be constructed and operated by Zanker Road Biogas. The MOU would set forth the guidelines and workplan for the potential lease terms of a biogas project. If the negotiations for the MOU are successful, the City of San Jose would issue the lease to Zero Waste Energy Development Company, Inc., a partnership between GreenWaste Recovery and their sister company, Zanker Road Resource Management. For this project, GreenWaste would partner with Harvest Power, Inc.—a company funded in part by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers that provides industry leading technology and project development capability to harness the renewable energy in organic waste. The proposed facility would be the first in United States, pending development of lease terms and the necessary regulatory and environmental approvals, as well as approval of the City’s partners in the Water Pollution Control Plant. The facility could take in up to 150,000 tons of organic waste per year to process and produce energy—from waste what would have been destined for a landfill.

Milpitas’ new BART station is scheduled to open this coming December. At present, VTA is contracted with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office to provide supplemental law enforcement services for VTA properties, which include the Light Rail and bus stations, as well as the Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations. That contract, however, is set to expire on June 30, 2019. Through its research, the Milpitas Police Department has come to expect that the BART station’s presence will have a public safety impact, as well as an accordant impact on public resources.

  • Route(S) Description 26 the Increased Frequency on the 26 Makes the Entire Southwestern Portion of the Network Vastly More Useful
    Route(s) Description 26 The increased frequency on the 26 makes the entire southwestern portion of the network vastly more useful. Please keep it. The 57, 60, and 61 came south to the area but having frequent service in two directions makes it much better, and riders from these routes can connect to the 26 and have much more areas open to them. Thank you. Green Line The increased weekend service on the Green line to every twenty minutes is a good addition of service for Campbell which is seeing markedly better service under this plan. Please keep the increased service. Multiple Please assuage public concerns about the 65 and 83 by quantifying the impact the removal of these routes would have, and possible cheaper ways to reduce this impact. The fact is that at least for the 65, the vast majority of the route is duplicative, and within walking distances of other routes. Only south of Hillsdale are there more meaningful gaps. Mapping the people who would be left more than a half mile (walkable distance) away from service as a result of the cancellation would help the public see what could be done to address the service gap, and quantifying the amount of people affected may show that service simply cannot be justified. One idea for a route would be service from winchester transit center to Princeton plaza mall along camden and blossom hill. This could be done with a single bus at a cheaper cost than the current 65. And nobody would be cut off. As far as the 83 is concerned, I am surprised the current plan does not route the 64 along Mcabee, where it would be eq..

  • VTA Bascom CS Study__Attachc Existing Transit Condition.Pdf
    ATTACHMENT C EXISTING TRANSIT CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS EXISTING CONDITIONS AND a partnership of OPPORTUNITIES REPORT Public Review Draft | December 2017 MEMORANDUM Date: November 10, 2017 To: Dan Amsden and Mukul Malhotra, MIG From: Sarah Peters, Andy Kosinski, PE, David Wasserman, and Lilian Ayala Subject: Existing Transit Conditions and Potential Improvements on Bascom Avenue SJ17-1708 This memorandum presents existing transit conditions along the Bascom Avenue corridor, which will inform the Bascom Avenue Complete Streets Study. The existing conditions covered in this memorandum include descriptions of the major destinations, route services, mode access to transit, bus stop conditions, and operational analysis of bus transit speeds and reliability. The Bascom Avenue corridor extends six miles from the north at Interstate 880 to State Route 85 in the south. The street is designated as a “Class 1 Arterial” with three lanes in each direction. For most of the segment it is in either the City of San Jose or unincorporated Santa Clara County, but it passes through the City of Campbell for 1.5 miles. The north and central sections of the corridor are primarily commercial, civic, or hospital, with the remaining areas being largely residential. KEY FINDINGS The existing transit system provides service to a majority of the north and central portions of Bascom Avenue. Although 54 stops are dispersed along the corridor, the major stops along Bascom Avenue, identified by ridership and transfer activity, were primarily located in the north and central portions of the corridor. The evaluation of major bus stops along Bascom Avenue have indicated that core bus stops are missing major amenities, such as seating and shelters, that would be expected for high ridership stops.
