Three weeks after our successful Rally for Coyote Valley, the San Jose City Council met on Tuesday to discuss Measure T and whether to fund acquisition of land in Coyote Valley. While no vote on the $50 million for Coyote Valley occurred at this meeting due to procedural restrictions, Councilmember Sergio Jimenez was stalwart in his insistence that the Council should take action on this issue as soon as possible. As a result, Council directed City staff to bring this issue back for further discussion later this month, with strong support for taking action as soon as possible.

A huge thank you to those who signed our action alert. The City Council members have heard us loud and clear – it’s time to protect Coyote Valley for the host of tangible benefits its land provides to the city, including flood protection.
