At 3333 Octavius Drive in Santa Clara, the City Council of Santa Clara approved the removal of many beautiful and majestic Heritage Redwood trees.

There are still many spectacular Redwood trees present there that would be a true loss if they are cut down. I believe that the City council was wrong in allowing so many of these Heritage trees to be removed without care or concern. I am truly ashamed of the City council and the people of Santa Clara for allowing these magnificent trees to be destroyed.

Roger KintThe 2026 elections are just around the corner in Santa Clara, and everyone is wondering who will run for various open seats. In 2026, there will be no incumbents defending. No automatic advantages. A rare reset moment. Many will say this is the year Mayor Lisa Gillmor finally terms out and the reign ends. However, ... Read more
