We the undersigned demand that the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors take action to re-examine important public use for the parcel located at 230 N. Main Street (APN 28-34-001 to 28-34-093), Milpitas, CA 95035 and commonly called “Main Street Park” to prevent it from being seized and sold to a developer instead of becoming a public park and community museum.

The residents living at the north end of Main Street do not have a park. The nearest city park is more than half a mile distant, which is too far for many of the Senior Citizens living in nearby Senior housing to walk to. A passive park design near the Milpitas Public Library also will serve library patrons. Milpitas is the only large city in Santa Clara County without a museum. The City Council has approved of using a portion of Main Street Park as the site for a museum. Locating a museum next door to the Milpitas Public Library and Municipal Parking Garage is ideal and must be preserved.
