Dear Santa Clarans north of U.S. 101,
Three of the five Community Meetings concerning the management of stadium traffic and parking have been held on our city's north side. They've been well-attended, meaning that about eighty to ninety residents have mostly filled a hundred-or-so seats at every meeting.
However, there are somewhere between 22,000 and 25,000 Santa Clarans who live in the area of Zip Code 95054, so perhaps only 1% of northside residents have actually seen and heard this very important presentation.
How the multi-city police force parks over 20,000 vehicles over the five hours before a kickoff - and sends them on their way during the 90 minutes after game-over - affects every resident of Santa Clara and a great many also in north San Jose and Sunnyvale. It might be worth clarifying:
You do not need to be registered to vote in order to attend these meetings.
You do not need to be a homeowner to attend.
Anyone may attend either or both of the two remaining meetings.
Santa Clara Plays Fair would like to urge especially that as many Northside residents as possible come to these final two meetings:
| Date | Time | Location |
| Monday, June 2 | 7:00-8:30pm | Kathryn Hughes
Elementary School 4949 Calle De Escuela Santa Clara, CA 95054 |
| Wednesday, June 25 | 7:00-8:30pm | Santa Clara
Youth Soccer Park Conference Room 5020 Stars and Stripes Drive Santa Clara, CA 95054 |
From the May 19th meeting, please see the actual PowerPoint slides here, and if you have any questions, we urge you to contact directly:
Mayor Matthews and the City Council
or
The Santa Clara Police Department
Yes, the plan for the stadium traffic jams is dynamic and subject to change. But the state that it's in right now is a fair indication of the disruption that Santa Clarans can expect not only on game days, but on non-NFL event days as well.
Please let us know if we may provide anything else, and thank you for all of your support.
Best regards,
William F. "Bill" Bailey, Treasurer,
