It is bounded by Highway 87, Interstate 280, Bird Avenue and the Los Gatos Creek.<br /></div><div align="justify">Because of its proximity to downtown, many visitors to the Children's Discovery Museum and other places parked in the neighborhood and shut out residents. A residential parking program was introduced, and it has helped, according to the report.<br /></div><div align="justify">Parts of Delmas Park area were zoned for more high-rise housing, but the neighborhood coalition successfully lobbied city leaders to scale back the high-density zoning near Bird Avenue. The change preserved some ordinary single-family houses and limited some growth there.<br /></div><div align="justify">The neighborhood coalition's next task will be to try to slow traffic, and city traffic engineers are now working with neighborhood leaders on some possible solutions.<br />"SNI showed us that we could have a future that treasures and protects our older homes and welcomes new development," said Kathy Sutherland in the report. She is a former chairwoman of the Delmas Park Neighborhood Action Coalition and now works in Councilwoman Nancy Pyle's office.<br /></div><div align="justify">"Before the SNI program, there wasn't a Delmas Park neighborhood," she said.<br />In the Blackford neighborhood in West San Jose, some residents' initial goals of better street lighting and more options for youth recreation have been met. The area is roughly bounded by San Tomas Expressway and Payne, Saratoga and Blackford avenues.<br /></div><div align="justify">"SNI helped in resolving some longtime neighborhood issues like installation of storm drains, traffic calming and improved lighting, to name a few," said Blackford NAC vice president Mack Johansen in the report.<br /></div><div align="justify">In the Burbank/Del Monte neighborhood, private housing developments have made some significant changes since 2000. The area roughly covers the Los Gatos Creek to Interstate 880 from Forest to Fruitdale avenues.<br /></div><div align="justify">There have been nine new housing developments and eight new commercial projects worth about $496 million since the SNI program began.<br /></div><div align="justify">The neighborhood has less open space and parks than other areas of the city, so one of the initiative's successes was developing Buena Vista Park and its tot lot. A new park also is expected to be built near condominiums under construction on Auzerais Avenue and the Los Gatos Creek.<br /></div><div align="justify">Led by San Jose City Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio, the city council recently approved a dog run at a future park there, but the facility's details have not been decided.<br />Neighbors are now looking to improve sidewalks, curbs and lighting to better link the area to downtown. </div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;">Courtesy of Silicon Valley Community Newspapers</span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;">Willow Glen Resident</span></div><div align="right"><a href="http://www.community-newspapers.com/archives/wgresident/20071026/news6.shtml"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.community-newspapers.com/archives/wgresident/20071026/news6.shtml</span></a></div>Delmas Park NAChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13804398970968406165noreply@blogger.com0
