Summary
As the new school year begins in San José, Vice Mayor Pam Foley emphasizes the critical need for traffic safety, particularly for children walking, biking, or rolling to school. She highlights speeding as the leading cause of serious injuries and urges drivers to obey speed limits, stay alert near schools, and keep crosswalks clear. The newsletter also promotes community engagement through ongoing Viva Parks events and activities at the Camden Community Center. Additionally, it spotlights upcoming City Council meetings, public safety enforcement efforts by the San José Police Department, and cultural events like the San José Jazz Summer Fest and the 2025 National Women's Soccer League Championship hosted locally. Small business owners are encouraged to attend free workshops offered by city offices to support economic development.
