The decisive passage of many of the measures reveals Bay Area residents' frustration with sprawl and worsening gridlock. Among multiple measures seeking to preserve open space and combat sprawl, Measure K in San Jose received an astounding 81% of the vote to establish an urban growth boundary, making it one of the largest cities in the county to have a voter-approved urban growth boundary. The Greenbelt Alliance pledges to continue its work with citizens to control sprawl, preserve open space, and address issues of traffic and affordable housing.
