This is what Viva Calle is about
On a warm and sunny day on Sunday September 10th 2023 tens of thousands of bicycle riders rode through the streets of central San Jose. Viva CalleSJ is a family friendly recreation program on the streets of San Jose bringing diverse communities together to walk, bike, skate, and having fun in the city.
But Viva Calle, a popular community event in San Jose, could be reduced from 3 events to 2 next year if the city cuts the funding. The city plans to cut Viva Calle from three to two days, and cut 25% of Viva Parks budget or $1.1 million targeted for primarily minority neighborhoods to fund the new union deals. But the SJ citizens and Viva Calle participants can avert the cut in funding at an important City Council meeting on September 12th 2023.
