I’m reaching out to share about two upcoming community meetings Santa Clara neighbors may be interested in attending. Both meetings are about the draft design for Howard Avenue, the street in the River Road neighborhood the runs in front of Howard Elementary School and Kelly Middle School.
Online Zoom community meeting on Monday, July 10th from noon to 1:30pm
In-person community meeting in the Howard Elementary School, 700 Howard Avenue, cafeteria on Thursday, July 13th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm
Initial community engagement about the design of Howard Avenue began in 2021 with a survey and three online open houses, engagement was paused until recently. The draft street design incorporating input from the 2021 survey and open houses is now being shared with the community for their final thoughts before the project moves into the engineering phase. Community members who cannot attend an event are welcome to email me with their input.
Please feel free to share meeting dates and times with across any social media platforms you may frequent, via listservs and newsletters, and with friends. I’m so excited to see this project moving forward and hope the community is too!
