For my Evergreen/Silver Creek residents, clients and agents: As you know, the Valley Oaks Shopping Center has been opening stores over the last 6 months. For those of you that have wondered about what appears to be a gas station out on the Cottle Road frontage, well, you are right. Safeway is opening a 16 pump station along with their store in October, as confirmed by John Tu of the San Jose Planning Department. For those of you that dont know Safeway as a seller of gasoline, prepare to be pleasantly surprised. They are known for discounting gas to get customers in the door. The station on Tennant Avenue in Morgan Hill has long lines because of the low prices. Still think the market needs a gas station in Canyon Creek Plaza? Will you drive a couple of extra miles to save money on gas? I know I will and I think most residents of the area will too. In addition, it appears the long rumored Costco just south of Valley Oaks is now set. If they follow the usual pattern for their gas stations, they will have four islands with a total of an additional 16 pumps. Thats 32 new pumps of discounted gas potentially coming on line. STILL want a gas station, noisy car wash and crime attracting convenience store at Canyon Creek Plaza? Does the market demand this? Ill never use it, and I dont think most other people will either. If you want to stop this embarrassing land use planning mistake, go to nocanyoncreekgas and sign the petition. E-mail the planning department and your city councilperson and tell them you dont want this in your neighborhood. Come to the planning meeting on September 8 and let your government know you dont want a gas station, car wash or a convenience store at Canyon Creek Plaza.
