California Highway 87, the Guadalupe Freeway, is a north-south highway entirely within San José, California. Its southern terminus is now on California State Highway 85, the West Valley Freeway; its northern terminus is on U.S. Highway 101, the Bayshore Freeway, just north of Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport. The highway intersects with Interstate 280, the Junípero Serra Freeway, in Downtown San José. Oddly it crosses Interstate 880, the Nimitz Freeway without an interchange. For most of its length, especially in downtown, the highway follows the course of the Guadalupe River.
Residents living along GuadalupeParkway have known for 20 years that one day the walls of their affordable rental houses would literally come tumbling down.
Guadalupe is now considered the most clogged corridor in the county, with commuters sometimes idling a half hour at the Airport Parkway traffic light.
As Fernandes sees it, the houses along GuadalupeParkway are being used as what she calls "bargaining chips" in a deal among the many funders of the project: the city, the state and the federal government.
