@abc7newsbayarea: The city of Santa Clara has begun seeking a development partner for the first phase of a long-planned effort to create a downtown destination, releasing a request for proposals for nearly five acres of city-owned land near Santa Clara University. City officials say the project is intended to help rebuild downtown Santa Clara, an effort that has been discussed for decades. #santaclara #downtown #retail #business #housing #realestate #development #bayarea #abc7news

If they wanted Santa Clara to grow, it can, if they kept Great America open. And make it bigger. Bigger than Disneyworld. And since its near San Jose, build a tech rich super amusement park, use Loony toons as thier official mascots. If you Gen X, you know... those were the best of times at that amusement park. Now, its going to be torn down next year and all the memories of its existence, will be gone... Want to build a downtown? Sure, make Vegas style buildings all lined up, both sides Put a big water fountain in the middle or a big pool, the length of half a mile, with the water fountain changing colors as they put on a water show at night. That's crazy. Is it, its big, its bold, a copy cat of the Vegas strip but people will notice and will want to visit.

Say good bye to those family restaurants- they will never be able to afford the new space. Laughable that they even mentioned it.

Dude has been advocating for a downtown for over 10 years? Omg and the camera pans out and nothing has been built? I don’t have the grit for this 😩 if we’re lucky we’ll see something in 2040 maybe

Why not offer to remodel those mom pop locations? If they’ve been there so long keep them there but off to give them a better restaurant and bring them more business maybe in exchange a small percentage of their profits since they got a new restaurant? Or charge them more rent if they get higher business?
