We Want Your Questions for Santana Row (July 27th Meeting)

Our next General Meeting is coming up soon (Mon, July 27 – 6:30pm) and Santana Row (Federal Realty) is once again hosting our food, but also speaking at our event. This is your opportunity to provide questions or topics you would like to hear about. Here are some of the things we are asking them to talk about:

  1. Please share parking strategy, challenges, and areas of improvement. Please include discussion on holiday circulation, and any statistics you may have (how many visits over the holiday, any changes you may make going forward, lessons learned, etc.).
  2. What are some major projects planned for the next 12-24 months, including expansions (i.e. new health club)?
  3. Are there planned road improvements? Please briefly touch on the off-ramp impact and timeline if you can.
  4. There were a couple safety issues of the past year. Can you comment on that and how things have changed because of that?
  5. What events are planned for the rest of the year?
  6. Which new businesses or restaurants are expected to open?
  7. What are some new businesses/eateries that opened (I.e. donut shop, gelato place)
  8. How does Santana Row decide which new businesses/restaurants to bring in?

You can submit your questions / topics here: https://forms.gle/7RP3ynmhfC35bfDp9

We may not be able to get to all of the questions, but we will try.

Thank and see you in a couple weeks!
