10/2/19 Meeting – Walking, Biking, Scooting and More on the Stevens Creek/Winchester Corridors

With the completion of several high-profile projects (including The Reserve and Valley Fair) imminent and several other projects just starting (e.g. Santana West), what changes can we expect in the near-term and long-term for the road infrastructure along Stevens Creek and Winchester, in the WNAC area?
