Subject:City Work Plan and Heart of the City at 4 PM Today
Dear City Council:
There appears to be a City Work Plan Meeting for the 2018/2019 Years
and on that agenda is consideration of the Planning Commission Work Plan.
I am very concerned because The Heart of the City was supposed to be studied
on the Planning Commission Work Plan and no one from the public has been
able to comment on this. There are attempts to break up the Heart of the
City and remove properties and public right of way frontage from it.
The Heart of the City is a cornerstone of Cupertino infrastructure and policy.
It cannot be broken up without serious public input. No one else
has expressed interest until now into breaking up Heart of the City.
There needs to be serious public discussion before anything like this is
done as the Heart of the City is a critical Cupertino hallmark which will
decide the fate of San Jose's Stevens Creek Urban Village. The Oaks Shopping Center
Project, the Vallco Plans and the Wolfe Road/Cupertino Village/Wofe Road Public
Right of Way Tree Corridor and also the Hyatt Hotel at the north east corner of
Vallco Shopping Center (sout east corner of Wolfe and 280 Intersection). Heart of
the CIty will also be a determining factor in the battle for De Anza Blvd. with San
Jose as San Jose rolls out their Plans for the De Anza Blvd. without any discussion with
Cupertino. Heart of the City may mean someday there will be a row of trees down
De Anza Blvd. to Bollinger Road. Heart of the City is Cupertino's to share with neighboring cities.
This is not the time to take apart the Heart of the City which is uniquely Cupertino and
many people form Cupertino have fought for many years to form and to save. If anything,
it is the time to strengthen the Heart of the City since it is a statement from Cupertino to
the surrounding areas as to what Cupertino stands for.
Please do not let Heart of the City be taken apart in this way and at this short date and in
this short time frame.
Thank you ver much.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin
