Opinion: Lake Cunningham: A local resource drowning in neglect

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:10:03 GMT

After years of underinvestment, the City of San Jose is finally taking action on Lake Cunningham, thanks in part to funding from state and regional partners.Neglect has taken its toll on Lake Cunningham Regional Park, once a vibrant park in the heart of our East San Jose community. Restoring Lake Cunningham is not just an exercise in nostalgia, it is a responsibility we owe to our environment, our community and future generations of San José residents.

By restoring the park’s natural habitats, we can provide a sanctuary for native wildlif...

So everything that we do . . . it all matters. Because it can come down to, as we’ve seen, a single play.”Cal lost five games by seven points or fewer last fall, but the bottom line was a 4-8 record that included a ninth-place finish (2-7) in the Pac-1...
