NewsFlash - Oct. 13

Earlier this year, more than 700 Sunnyvale residents shared their insights about our community through a "livability" survey.

Questions related to the local quality of life each received high marks. Particularly the question about whether current residents would encourage others to move here.

Sunnyvale residents demonstrated their pleasure with local life with 92% indicating they would recommend Sunnyvale to anyone who asks. Additionally, 91% indicated they plan to stay in Sunnyvale for at least the next five years.

These results were part of the National Community Survey. The full report is available at TownofSunnyvale.org/Survey.

Work is underway on the $9.3 million road improvement project recently approved by the Sunnyvale Town Council.

Phase 2B includes the repair and overlay of the following sections of asphalt roadway (dates are subject to change). This week's activity is scheduled to include:

• Tripp Road paving is complete. All that remains is final striping and installation of pedestrian crossing signage adjacent to Samuel Farm North Park which is scheduled for the week of Oct. 16.
• Jobson Road paving from Tripp Road to US 80 is complete. Final striping is scheduled for the week of Oct. 16.
• Jobson Road from Tripp Road to Town East Boulevard.
• Southbound and northbound Jobson have reopened to traffic. All that remains is striping which is scheduled for the week of Oct. 16.
• Town East Boulevard from Collins Road to Tower Place - Eastbound work began Oct. 3. Westbound is scheduled to begin in late October.
