September 2020 Downtown Dimension Highlights

The latest addition of Downtown Dimension is now live. Below is a summary of the content this month.


The SEPTEMBER 2020 Downtown Dimension is now available for download.

On the front page:

Taking into account the views of 1,254 survey responders, SJDA has a stabilization plan that provides guidance on how SJDA and downtown San Jose should move forward in the next six months and for the next two years.  The 40-page plan goes deep, but this month's Dimension summary outlines the highlights, managing principles and primary objectives:
  1. Emphasize clean and safe services downtown;
  2. Provide plenty of nurturing to downtown's vulnerable storefront economy;
  3. Focus on downtown place enhancement and marketing.
Also this month:
  • Nirvana Soul owners talk about opening "third-wave specialty coffee shop" in SoFA.  
  • Groundwerx program managers promoted.
  • Railroad through northern part of downtown to be silenced at night.
  • First 90 minutes free parking at newly upgraded and safety-conscientious ParkSJ garages 
SJDA hosts City Council candidates forum Sept. 11, 8:30 a.m.

The City Council forum featuring District 4 candidates David Cohen and Lan Diep plus District 6 candidates Dev Davis and Jake Tonkel will stream live on Facebook Live starting at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 11.  To view the meeting, simply go to our Facebook page @sjdowntown.  We're taking some reservations on Zoom, too.  RSVP to sjdarsvp@sjdowntown.com.
