Viva Calle SJ 9/23/18: D2 Elbow and Friends of Santa Teresa Park by Ronald Horii
9/23/18 was Viva CalleSJ day. It's a huge annual event that closes several miles of city streets so thousands of people can bike or walk them without having to deal with vehicle traffic. Along the way are lots of activities and source booths. This year, the route followed Monterey Road and South 1st Street from Branham Lane to E. William Street downtown. It also included Branham Lane from Monterey Road to Martial Cottle Park on Snell Avenue. Part of the route ran through San Jose City Council District 2. City Councilmember Sergio Jimenez's office organized an activity center at the corner of Branham Lane and Monterey Road, called the "D2 Elbow," in front of the Edenvale Library. There were games, kids activities, food trucks, a climbing wall, jumping poles, resource tables, bike repair, and the Maker[Space]Ship mobile workshop. My group, the Friends of Santa Teresa Park (FOSTP), was invited to have a booth there. We had games for kids and information about our organization and the park we support, Santa Teresa County Park.
