Honorable Councilmembers:
Thanks to the City of Cupertino for purchasing the property that makes possible greatly improving the
entrance to Blackberry Farm for non-motorists. I join the BPC and staff in recommending Alternative
B, with an extra wide ADA path accommodating both pedestrians and cyclists.
The $2M cost is significant, but so is the improvement. Blackberry Farm has the only entrance to the
Stevens Creek corridor that doesn't require cyclists to ride up/down a steep hill on a busy arterial
street (McClellan or Stevens Creek Blvd.). I believe it will encourage more families with children (at
least those who live east of the creek, which is most of us) to bike there to access the corridor and the
Stevens Creek Trail, along with the mobility-challenged in wheelchairs and stroller-pushing
pedestrians.
I am a founding member of Cupertino's BAC (which became BPAC which became BPC) and of the
Friends of Stevens Creek Trail board, but I am writing as a Cupertino resident.
Thank you!
