people were most worried about awful traffic immediately next to the highway Where better to put a big box store than away from residential property and landlocked by a freeway? The Sunnyvale Home Depot has no such traffic issues, and it is only accessible from Kifer... which is not a big road. The whole "traffic!" issue was a crock instituted to chase a dream of a "Santana Row West" which never had a chance. The subsequent new huge Safeway Marketplaces at Hacienda and Bernardo/ECR create far more traffic, both in car trips and truck deliveries, yet they engendered no complaints. The result: the property became a medical center that generates essentially zero sales tax revenue for the city; that lost half-million a year goes to Sunnyvale's Home Depot and Lowe's instead.
