The Town of Sunnyvale is excited to update the Town’s comprehensive plan. The Imagine Sunnyvale Comprehensive Plan will serve as the Town’s official guide for land use and development for the next 20 years.

The Town's next public engagement activity is a Community Open House on Tuesday, June 16, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Town Hall Council Chambers (127 N Collins Rd). The event will give the community an opportunity to review and provide feedback on any goals and recommendations in the core elements.

The comprehensive plan will address several topics, including land use and development, residential areas, commercial and employment areas, transportation, and community facilities and public infrastructure.

Visit the Imagine Sunnyvale Comprehensive Plan website for more information about the process so far.

Meet Ricky and Lucy!

Meet Ricky and Lucy, an adorable brother-and-sister duo ready to bring double the love and laughter to your home! These striking black-and-white Border Collie/Cattle Dog mixes are just 3 months old and are looking for their forever home. They can be adopted together or separately. They will do best with an individual or family committed to giving them plenty of mental stimulation, positive-reinforcement training, and daily exercise. They are young enough to easily integrate into homes with other pets and children.

We would love for you to share this with others and bring awareness to the Sunnyvale Animal Shelter's animals and services. If your family is ready to welcome a new member, we currently have many adoptable pets in our shelter looking for a loving home. Learn more by visiting our Petfinder page or calling (214) 862-4525.
