The Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor is a major health, education, tech industry, shopping and housing spine in the South Bay. It is ​​experiencing significant growth in commercial and residential land uses. In 2019, the cities of Cupertino, Santa Clara, San José, and Santa Clara County adopted resolutions in support of a vision study of the Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor to create a common vision for mobility to enhance quality of life for all community members. Additionally, regional funding for a high-capacity transit service on Stevens Creek was included as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC)’s Regional Transportation Plan after a joint submission by corridor agencies. A steering committee of elected officials corridor jurisdictions formed to provide a forum for elected representatives to meet, discuss and provide direction on a common vision for the Stevens Creek Corridor.  

 

In February 2022 the City of Cupertino formally joined the study effort, with a particular interest in considering the potential for transit options that do not impact general purpose lanes or vehicular capacity on City surface streets, as well as the direction to extend the study limits to Foothill Boulevard.  

 

The Stevens Creek Boulevard Vision Study began in January 2023, and the Engagement Plan is scheduled to be approved by the Steering Committee in June 2023 which will begin the formal outreach process for the Study.
