    Greetings neighbors!

    Our first LPNA meeting of 2017 is scheduled for Saturday February 4th from 10:30am-12:00pm. (2017 Meeting Schedule). However, due to scheduling conflicts at the Library for this date, an alternate location was sought out. Graciously, PremierOne Credit Union, a supportive member to our community, offered their meeting room for our use. For this one meeting, meet us at:

    PremierOne Credit Union HQ
    6640 Via Del Oro    (close by)
    San Jose, CA 95119

    Be sure to stop by and say thanks to a local supporting business helping to make our community stronger.

    The meeting agenda includes:

    • Meeting the new Captain of the Southern Division for SJPD
    • HSRA to present information, with priority to our specific area

    Join us! Learn more about our community, and how your participation helps!

  • STBNA November monthly meeting

    You’re probably wondering why we see so much information flowing over from STBNA? Well, simply put, it never hurts to learn from other neighborhood associations what issues they have to solve. However, in particular, Rolund LeBrun serving as President for the STBNA group also works tirelessly on traffic issues that impact our area. In particular, he devotes a great deal of his time advocating on our behalf to ensure High Speed Rail implementation is handled properly without destroying our neighborhoods. To that end, 11/28 is the November monthly meeting for STBNA, details follow:

    Date: 11/28
    Location: Santa Teresa Public Library Community room
    Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm

  • D2 PB funding for the Bernal to Bailey $1M

    You may have seen, a few days ago on Nextdoor, a post by Joshua Barousse, a District 2 Council Aide, indicating the District 2 PB voting process has resumed. Search for his post or see it below.

    Below is the post and flyers associated with the resumption of voting. Register to vote in this PB process by linking to the websites shown in links below, registering, then awaiting a confirmation email from a District 2 staff (possibly Erika Salazar), asking for validation of your house address, like a recent PGE bill, a copy of water bill, etc. You can cross off the account number. You can view the project ideas in the voting ballot on the City’s website.

  • High Speed Rail impact upon D2 neighborhoods

    Roland Lebrun was gracious enough to provide his slides for the High Speed Rail presentation at both the LPNA and STBNA meetings here , 10/22-10/24. Please review if you were unable to attend either meeting or the D2 office presentation in conjunction with HSRA on 10/27. There are MANY issues which impact our communities and it is best everyone become familiar with them in order to make an informed decision as to how you want it to proceed.
