Environmental groups rally to protect Coyote Valley from development in San Jose

A debate over a 7,400-acre stretch of public space at the edge of San Jose was revived Jan. 22 at a rally before the City Council’s discussion of a $650 million infrastructure bond approved by voters in November.

Situated between the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Diablo Range, Coyote Valley is a critical corridor for animals and wildlife, as well as a protective buffer between Coyote Creek and the San Jose metropolitan area.
