RE: Item 18: Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor Vision Study
I am writing to you regarding the Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor Vision Study, which is scheduled to
return before your Council on September 3rd. This regional effort has been many years in the making,
reflecting extensive coordination among our respective jurisdictions, as well as input from community
members, commissions, and technical staff. I respectfully submit this letter in strong support of
Cupertino’s adoption of the Vision Study and the accompanying staff resolution.
The Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor is a critical east–west arterial, connecting our communities,
supporting a broad range of businesses, and serving thousands of daily commuters. As you are well
aware, the challenges and opportunities associated with this corridor extend well beyond the borders of
any single jurisdiction. Adoption of the Vision Study by each participating city ensures that we can move
forward with a shared, coherent framework for addressing safety, multimodal mobility, economic vitality,
and environmental sustainability. Cupertino’s participation is indispensable to the success of this
collaborative effort.
I recognize that Cupertino must also carefully weigh issues of fiscal responsibility, prioritization of local
investments, and alignment with community priorities and adoption of the Vision Study does not
constitute a binding commitment to fund or construct any specific project. Rather, it represents an
affirmation that Cupertino, alongside its regional partners, will continue to plan thoughtfully and
strategically for the future of this important corridor. Moreover, approval positions all of our jurisdictions
to pursue competitive regional, state, and federal funding opportunities more effectively.
For these reasons, I strongly encourage the Council to adopt the Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor Vision
Study this evening. Doing so will enable us to continue working together toward the shared goals of
safety, livability, and prosperity for all of our residents.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to continuing this important partnership.
Sincerely,
Rosemary Kamei
Councilmember, City of San José
