The controversial Green Valley / Berry Swanson tower project passed 7 – 0, despite vehement opposition from the community. 7 – 0!<BR/><BR/>The board totally abdicated their responsibility, and decided that tonight's issue would only be whether it was a good "land deal" for the VTA. Pathetic. The VTA cared deeply when they had first refusal over which builder to select, but now that the builder has been chosen, they're passing the buck to the SJC council to make the final determination on what type of development will be created. Be prepared for another ugly tower in the same vain as Tamien Station.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
