This is a critical moment for the Fair Oaks Plaza redevelopment.
Today’s study session is where direction gets set. If we’re not in the room, our concerns risk being overlooked at a stage when changes are still possible.
We’re nearing 3,500 signatures on our petition. Now we need that same momentum to show up in real time.
We need a strong turnout to match the momentum behind this effort.
Please take a moment to:
Show up in person
Join on Zoom
Or send a quick email
Even a short comment matters.
Talk to your neighbors. Share this update. Offer help getting someone there or online.

Key points you can raise
Housing yes. Food desert no.
No clear commitment to a full service grocery store
We need real, functional ground floor retail
Ask for at least 15,000 sq ft of usable grocery space
Losing grocery access will harm seniors, low income families, disabled residents, and those without reliable transportation
You can also speak to traffic, environmental concerns, loss of jobs, and the role this plaza has played for generations
⸻
Be there. Speak if you can. Bring a sign and help fill the room with visible support.

Inequity is not acceptable. North Sunnyvale deserves better.
Tonight, we show what this community looks like when it stands together.
With appreciation,
