Background:
Residents of the Edenvale/Great Oaks SNI Neighborhood will be joined
by members of Our City Forest to plant street trees along Snow Drive to
beautify the area and, more importantly, to serve as one of many traffic
calming implementation measures slated for this neighborhood.
Residents, led by the Edenvale/Great Oaks Implementation Coalition, have
worked diligently in collaboration with Councilmember Forrest Williams,
the City of San José, the San Jose Redevelopment Agency, Our City
Forest, and other SNI partners to launch this first SNI project for their
neighborhood.
The project is being implemented following approval by the San José
City Council in December 2001of the Updated Neighborhood Revitalization
Plan for the area. The Strong Neighborhoods Initiative is a partnership
of the City of San José, San Jose Redevelopment Agency and the
community to build clean, safe, attractive neighborhoods with independent
and capable neighborhood organizations.
