Give input to improve Santa Clara roads and road safety.

Santa Clarians. Now is the time to act on improving our area streets for safety as well as bicycling and pedestrian improvements. If you have ever wanted to add features to slow down traffic, add bicycle lanes or sidewalks in dangerous areas now is the time to respond.

The quickest way to give input is by dropping a ‘pin’ on an interactive map and mentioning what you what like to see improved. For example, drop a pin on Spring Creek and mention the need for sidewalks before some child gets hurt walking to the park from the school. Or drop a pin on a street with frequent speeders and mention the need for ‘traffic calming’.

Why give input now? Eugenean’s passed a bond measure in 2022 that dedicates $15 million for walking, biking, and safety improvement projects to include bike lanes, crosswalks, off-street paths, pedestrian bridges, and street tree projects. The city is taking input now and will prioritize the input in order to begin construction in 2025. (It is okay to give input even if you are a county, but not city resident)

Here’s a link to the interactive map where you can give input. You will quickly see that Santa Clara is way behind in dropping ‘pins’.

If you need a little help with placing pins, watch this short video from our April SCCO meeting.

Here’s another way to give input and learn a lot more about the bond. You’ll get a lot of one on one if you grab one of the many planning team members.
