Description
ooooooohhhhhhkay. let's try this again. Since my previous request was opened and closed at least 7 or 8 times (closed most recently today) let's try this again.
Garbage and weeds on sidewalks and spilling out onto streets makes it increasingly more painful to walk down these streets everyday.
the encampments/RV's that have been living inside the private gated property (belonging to the parking lot owners) have contributed greatly to this I'm sure. they are now domiciling outside of the gated area parked on the street and the trash just seems to increase. the area on the corner near the on ramp I believe is CalTrans responsilibity and I have filed a report with them as well.
is this the City's responsibility to clean up? the parking lot owners? if the latter, why can't they be forced to be more responsible and better neighbors? considering that they probably pull in $5000 a day on parking fees, the least they can do is keep their property maintained.
my final question is - why does this keep getting "closed" when it's not - with no explanation?
in case there is any doubt, this is on 5th Street, headed south towards the 880 North onramp. Between Union and Mandela (closer to Union). it's bad across the street too.

I submitted my first request back in May! they're normally a bit faster than that.
