Vendors and their allies are pushing San Jose city leaders to finalize plans for a new site for the Berryessa Flea Market. They said on Wednesday that waiting to the last minute could cause an economic catastrophe for the 450 microbusinesses which rely on the four-day a week flea market.

Since the 1960s, San Jose’s Berryessa Flea Market has been a staple of the oldest form of commerce. Now uncertainty looms, as the clock is ticking for this market to find a new home."There is an impending sense of doom and closure that is really clouding all of La Pulga, all of the existing flea market," said Professor Kelly Snider, an urban planning expert at San Jose State University.The bad case of nerves is being exacerbated by a new San Jose city report.

And also we need to find partners, financial partners to help us get ready for any sight," said Roberto Gonzalez, president of the Berryessa Flea Market Vendor’s Association.He said the vendors seek clarity and certainty as to where the market will move before a closure notice is drafted."If the city kind of drags its feet, or says ‘Hey we’ll wait until we get any notice,’ by that time it’ll be too late.
