About STFNA

The Santa Teresa Foothills Neighborhood Association was formed in 2000 to address community issues in the south San Jose area generally bounded by Santa Teresa Boulevard on the north, the Santa Teresa Foothills on the south, Cottle Road on the east, and Winfield Boulevard/Almaden Lake Park on the west (see map below).

We are willing to work on any issue which affects our neighborhoods, but we have identified the following priorities:

• Preservation of the Santa Teresa Foothills

• Creation of a public trail along the Coyote-Alamitos Canal between Santa Teresa County Park and Lake Almaden Park

• Public Education and Awareness

• Safe Neighborhoods

• Hillside Development Enforcement
