This Week at the Town Center


I was walking out of the Sunnyvale Target store today (bought an exercise ball for my new class) when I heard all the racket from the final demolition going on at old mall. The earth movers are hard at work at this project, and on the excavation at the two new underground garages. The number of trucks leaving the $400 million redevelopment project have grown to 500 a day, and although Sunnyvale Public safety is there to make sure that they obey traffic laws, there still have been complaints to the Mr. Roadshow column in the Mercury News. A number of tickets have been issued for speeding and blocking cross traffic, and truckers have been reminded to stay in the right lane. Nonetheless, that many trucks hauling dirt are bound to be a problem. At least it is only expected to last for another six weeks!
