Commuting through Silicon Valley
The neighborhood borders the Bayshore Freeway, connecting it to the entire Bay Area. However, “it’s sheltered from a lot of the traffic because they’ve put up a bunch of different road calming accommodations, so people have to go around the neighborhood—unless you live there,” Elliott says. Prominent Silicon Valley employers like Adobe and Zoom are just 2 miles away downtown, while other companies like Cisco and Google are further up the Bayshore Freeway. San Jose Mineta International Airport is about 6 miles northwest, while the nearest hospital, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, is right across from Roosevelt Park on East Santa Clara Street. Bus stops can be found along East Julian Street. Biking and walking are also efficient ways to get around the neighborhood.
The Diridon Station allows Roosevelt Park locals to ride the train to San Francisco.
The VTA buses are passes by the Roosevelt Park area frequently perfect for commuters.
