Opinion: San Jose City Council should protect Coyote Valley
On Oct. 27, the San Jose Planning Commission struck down recommendations from city staff and the San Jose General Plan Task Force to protect Coyote Valley from future development. I cannot express how disappointing this vote was for me. … Commercial development proposals for Coyote Valley are rejected because they cause more wear and tear to our roads, threaten our wildlife crossings, destroy native habitat and endangered species and contaminate our groundwater.
