Why save it I agree with Drew. The line would of been better as a trolley route/trail. Also I'm sure the libby yuppies in the bubble city of 'willow glen' would like less entrances to their city by the undesirables. San Jose has turned into on giant ghetto during Chuck Reeds reign and they still vote for him. I am from San Jose and used to love it but now I stay away from that city much like I do Richmond or Oakland. Plus San Jose's bag ban pisses me off Funny how leftist ideology screws everything up.
