Water Line Rerouting Along Budd Avenue Begins

San Jose Water said to expect traffic slow-downs on Budd Avenue, on either side of San Tomas Expressway.

Roadwork can be seen in various stages throughout the Orchard City. Beginning this week, Budd Avenue will also go under the knife, er, construction saws.

San Jose Water Company is rerouting and replacing a waterline that runs underneath Budd Avenue, through San Tomas Expressway, said San Jose Water Company Project Supervisor Maurice Cyr.

"We are planning on doing the work on the surrounding areas, cutting and digging and pushing pipes underneath," Cyr said. "We notified the residents."

A total of 195 feet of pipe underneath San Tomas Expressway will be rerouted and replaced, he said, and some of the on/off ramps will also be impacted.

"Work started yesterday (Sept. 24) and is expected to continue for the next three to four weeks," said Humberto Zuniga, foreman at Preston Pipelines. "Expect slower traffic around 8:30 a.m. but especially between 9 and 9:30 a.m."

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
