A flea market space located adjacent to a planned expansion of the Bay Area Rapid Transit system in San Jose, California, may be replaced with a mixed use transit village.
"Vendors at the San Jose Flea Market know the clock is about to start ticking on plans to turn the outdoor bazaar into a major housing and commercial development."
"Tuesday, the San Jose City Council is expected to cast a final rezoning vote that would pave the way for a major 'transit village' on the 120-acre site on Berryessa Road. If the council approves the project, the owners of the Flea Market have agreed to continue operating it at that site for another 2 1/2 years."
"Mayor Chuck Reed and Councilman Kansen Chu have urged the council to approve the project - which would include about 2,800 homes near a planned Bay Area Rapid Transit line from the East Bay and about 365,000 square feet of commercial and industrial space - with certain conditions. Chu, whose district includes the Flea Market, said the owners have already agreed to those stipulations, which include pursuing an alternate site for the Flea Market and pursuing affordable housing in the project."
