In a space once known as \u201cThe Jungle\u201d for homeless encampments near Story Road of San Jos\u00e9, is now a site aimed for a revitalized accessible urban park and trail by the Coyote Meadows Coalition. Reaching about 50 acres, the space was a former landfill and mitigation site. After efforts to tackle its use as the former largest homeless encampment in San Jos\u00e9, surrounding residents are hopeful for an urban open space park with connective trails.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo create an accessible urban open space park called Coyote Meadows in the heart of San Jos\u00e9 and to establish a culture of community ownership.\u201d– Vision Statement, Coyote Meadows Coalition<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Dream Team<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Coyote Meadows Coalition<\/a> formed to develop an urban open space stewardship project. Strong support for the project includes various organizations and community members like CommUniverCity<\/a>, Gi\u1eef cho Coyote Creek lu\u00f4n t\u01b0\u01a1i \u0111\u1eb9p<\/a>, and Th\u00e2n H\u1eefu c\u1ee7a \u0110\u01b0\u1eddng m\u00f2n Five Wounds<\/a>. By enacting a community stewardship project, Coyote Meadows can serve many needs identified by the community. Possible plans for proposals include trail connectivity, low-impact park uses, open space preservation, and enhancing the natural creek for wildlife and plants.<\/p>\n

The Site<\/em><\/h2>\n

The open space, named as \u201cCoyote Meadows\u201d in a proposed development, is visible from the I-280 freeway and currently leases about 6 acres to a local radio station for antenna towers. Trail lovers are proposing that the site establish trail connectivity with Five Wounds Trail, Coyote Creek Trail, and Three Creeks Trail. Construction on the Coyote Creek Trail behind Kelly Park begins in the Spring of 2017.<\/p>\n

The Meeting<\/em><\/h2>\n

Last night at the Coyote Meadows Meeting, San Jos\u00e9 Director of Parks Angel Rios<\/a> identified some of the challenges in creating the new greenprint plans for Coyote Meadows. The strategic plan will require strong political will, agressive public\/private investments, compromise between all stakeholders, and facilitation of \u201cplace making\u201d at parks. He advised that the City of San Jos\u00e9 is conducting a Greenprint Update<\/a> to guide future development of parks in which you can share your thoughts and recommendations in their survey<\/a>. Increasing access to the space will play a role in allowing surrounding community to take ownership of the site and create new uses for it.<\/p>\n
