But the proposed development, dubbed the Berryessa BART Urban Village, which would be built next to the city’s new and only BART station, would radically alter the property — and the market — to make way for more than 3 million square feet of office and retail space, and some 3,400 housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]The hunger strike was organized by the Berryessa Flea Market Vendors Association (BFVA), a group created late last year in opposition to the proposed development. While its leaders initially demanded the vote be delayed by 90 days, González, the group’s president and a vendor at the market, said the extra week is enough time to reach a new deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was a great victory for us today,” he said. “The struggle is not over.

But that would shrink the flea market to less than a third of its current size, falling far short of accommodating the majority of its vendors.
