… and Why Does It Matter to Baker West?
The District One Leadership Group (D1LG) is a coalition of neighborhood associations and community organizations across San José City Council District 1, which includes Baker West and much of West San José. The organization was created to strengthen communication between neighborhoods, residents, and the District 1 Council Office.
D1LG provides a forum where neighborhood leaders can hear updates from city officials, discuss local issues, and coordinate on topics affecting West San José communities. Meetings often include discussions about development projects, transportation, emergency preparedness, homelessness, parks, public safety, and land-use planning.
For Baker West, participation in D1LG matters because it gives the neighborhood a stronger voice on citywide and district-level decisions that may impact quality of life, traffic, housing development, emergency preparedness, and neighborhood services. It also creates opportunities for neighborhoods to share information, collaborate, and stay informed about upcoming city initiatives and community concerns.
