This week, @AARPCA hosted a 2-day @SafeGrowth workshop with community members along Monterey Road in #SanJose - also known as “Blood Alley” - to help make the road safer for all. Participants will now continue their work over the next few months. More to come! #SafeGrowthSJ

[Shea DeAnda @sheadeanda]

Enjoyed the opportunity to learn from #SanJose residents, @VTA, @CityofSanJose & @SafeGrowth re: strategies & ideas to help make Monterey Rd. safer & more livable.

Takeaways: “design impacts behavior”; “data leads the way”; community solutions are the strongest! #SafeGrowthSJ

CA communities expect a more than 300% increase in 85+ residents in the next 20 years. Hundreds of thousands will hang up their car keys. What a shame to see that public transit cuts could strand them in place. https://t.co/ZNMUxFLqcm @LauraFriedmanCA @SenGonzalez33

[Jo Ann Jenkins @JoAnn_Jenkins]
