Project Overview 

The Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor Vision Study is a collaborative multi-jurisdictional two-year project that builds on prior transportation planning initiatives to establish a unified vision for the future of the corridor. Its goal is to align the shared values and priorities across the corridor, ensuring that future transportation investments are well-coordinated across San José, Santa Clara, Cupertino, the County, and VTA.

 

Project Background

The Stevens Creek Corridor, a central hub for health, education, tech, shopping, and housing in the South Bay, is witnessing significant commercial and residential growth. In response, Cupertino, Santa Clara, San José, and Santa Clara County endorsed a vision study in 2019, aiming to establish cohesive mobility strategies to improve community life. This initiative received regional funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for high-capacity transit after a joint proposal by corridor agencies. Beginning its vision study in January 2023, the steering committee, comprised of elected officials from the participating agencies will oversee and guide the development of the project.

Project Purpose

During the life of this project, the participating agencies will seek input from the community to better understand the challenges and opportunities within the corridor. Based on this feedback, the partner agencies will agree on a clear vision and develop realistic actions to achieve it, including recommendations on directing transportation investments from all participating agencies.

Community Outreach

Winter Consultants was hired to lead the outreach process, and project partner agencies worked collaboratively with Winter to develop an outreach strategy tailored to their respective communities' unique needs. City staff helped develop solutions by connecting Winter with local community-based organizations and institutions.

Winter was responsible for carrying out the outreach itself, and all jurisdictions were provided with equivalent outreach methods, allowing for equal access and input throughout the project area. This approach aimed to ensure that each community had a voice in the study and that outreach efforts were consistent across all jurisdictions.

City staff supported Winter by publishing the project’s primary webpage on the City's website and also shared key information about important meetings, webinars, and surveys on Facebook, Nextdoor, and X.

Below is a list of outreach events Winter organized specifically for Cupertino stakeholders as part of this project.
