5:00-8:00pm RALLY TO SAVE COYOTE VALLEY
SAN JOSE CITY HALL
200 EAST SANTA CLARA ST.
SAN JOSE, CA 95113
The Coyote Valley Specific Plan includes 25,000 new residential units, which will bring 80,000 people to the area. This is the equivalent of a city the size of Mountain View!
Coyote Valley is a beautiful stretch of land between Morgan Hill and San Jose. It is a wildlife corridor between the Diablo Range in the East and Santa Cruz Mountains in the west, an important resource for wildlife populations in these areas. The Valley has many listed species that need to be protected, like the Tule Elk, North American Badger, Burrowing Owl, California Tiger Salamander, Red Legged Frog, and Bay Checkerspot Butterfly.

Uhh, are you sure there are Tule Elk in the Coyote Valley? Are we talking about the same Coyote Valley that has US 101, Monterey Highway, and Bernal Ave. as major throughfares running the length of the Valley? I've spent a lot of time there and have never seen Tule Elk. I thought the closest Tule Elk were in Point Reyes. Also, I thought the remaining Bay Checkerspot butterfly habitat was up around South San Francisco.
At least you didn't try to claim that it was prime Panda habitat.

There have been spottings of Tule Elk, a reintroduced species of elk that almost went extinct. Other Endangered Species of Wildlife and Plants occupy Coyote Valley. Just take a look at the Draft Environemental Impact Report (DEIR) release by the City of San Jose: http://www.sanjoseca.gov/coyotevalley or check out the websites for the Committee for Green Foothills or Greenbelt Alliance or US Fish and Wildlife Service. Thanks.
