San Jose Overfelt Gardens Master Plan - Community meeting and Survey

The City of San José is undertaking a master planning project to reinvigorate and revitalize the Overfelt Gardens. Overfelt Gardens is a lovely nature park in great need for TLC. Please consider responding to this short survey, and ask the city to invest in restoring and expanding the native plant gardens.

You may also participate in the Overfelt Gardens Park Master Plan Community Meeting #2 on Thursday, May 20 from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. via Zoom.


San Jose Light Tower

Recently, San Jose City Council advanced the Urban Confluence project. The City, led by Council Member Davis, provided some direction to ensure that the project is not a financial burden to the City, ask that the design be done to the “highest environmental excellence standards” to avoid rather than mitigate negative environmental impacts, and call for citywide outreach.

San Jose residents, please email Deputy Director Nicolle Burnham at nicolle.burnham@sanjoseca.gov to ask for an impartial, citywide survey that provides arguments for and against the project to guarantee that our community is informed and engaged with the process.
