Thanks to Ro Khanna for getting construction funding for the Pruneridge Complete Streets project in Santa Clara! The Santa Clara City Council approved the plan in August 2022.

Among other things, this project will close the remaining two-mile gap in the bike lane for the Pruneridge-Hedding-Berryessa corridor.

The Milyar coffee shop on the corner of Benton and Monroe streets has finally opened after 2 years of permits and remodeling. It opened last Friday May 9th and promises to be a great place for evening get togethers with friends. Initially the hours will be 10AM to 10 PM and possibly in a month they will open 6 am till midnight. I was very happy to meet, Omar, the assistant manager this afternoon. Right now they don't have decaf coffee so I had a delicious hibiscus tea with cloves and cardamon. Soon they will have decaf. This is their second cafe. The original is in Berkeley and is open 7 days a week from 7am to midnight.
