Argument in Favor of Measure DARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE
Measure G would allow a viable and long overdue revitalization of the dying and nearly vacant
Vallco Shopping Mall.
Measure D will revitalize Vallco as an innovative, sustainable mixed -use town center as called
for in Cupertino's community -created General Plan.
What Measure D Provides for Cupertino Residents:
• 30-acre Community Park and Nature Area with trees, trails and open space
• A destination Town Center square, performance venues, a unique amphitheater and
play space for children.
• Free space for nonprofits and civic organizations, a banquet hall and community center.
• Over $40 million in onetime revenue for Cupertino's K-12 school districts to reduce class
sizes and enrich education, millions more annually for local schools, and over $1.2
million annually for Foothill -De Anza Community College District.
• Sets aside new homes for local seniors and results in a $50 million contribution to
affordable housing for Cupertino's most deserving residents and families.
• A carefully -engineered transportation plan that minimizes traffic impacts, including a
free community shuttle, transit center, 1-280 improvements and tens of millions of
dollars for local roadway improvements.
• A LEED Platinum plan with the highest standards of environmental sustainability, water
conservation and mandated recycled water use.
To guarantee these benefits to Cupertino residents, they have been written into Measure
and will become a binding legal mandate of any redevelopment.
Measure D : The Right Choice for Revitalization
Voting Yes on Measure D means an innovative and beneficial revitalization of empty, decaying
Vallco Shopping Mall, transforming it from a dated eyesore into a lively, attractive center of
community life.
Voting No on Measure _ means Vallco Shopping Mall will stay empty and unusable for
decades, eliminating a once -in -a -generation chance at revitalization and rejecting millions for
Cupertino schools, residents and our community.
The choice for Cupertino's future is clear. Please join California Assemblymember Evan Low and
neighbors from across Cupertino in supporting Measure D. Learn more at RevitalizeVallco.com.
