“I enjoyed the recent article by Michael Moore on Community Park. However, there is a long continuing problem caused by the baseball field users. Apparently someone gave them permission to ignore the ‘No Parking At Any Time’ signs posted along the road leading in from Del Monte Avenue. When the weather is nice the roadway is made more narrow by their parking along the road, and even parking over the curb on the diamond side, because they cannot walk the additional distance from the street or the ample parking lot in front of the tennis courts.”
Red Phone: Dear All Parked Out, no one gave anyone permission to park where there were “No Parking” signs, however permission is now granted.
Red Phone contacted Steve Rymer, community services director, who said as use of the city’s recreation facilities and parks has increased, the amount of convenient parking has decreased. This is especially true for Community Park and the Centennial Recreation Center.
“For the area in question, the city’s Engineering Division and Police Department are evaluating ways to uphold public safety, while providing convenient parking for the ball fields. Beginning Sept. 12, a two-week trial period will begin. The no parking signs will be covered to allow for parking in those locations. During this time, staff will evaluate whether any traffic circulation problems arise and if public safety is compromised. Once a decision is made, the city will make the necessary sign changes (if any) and ensure enforcement.”
Well, there you have it, good caller. A test run is under way.
WNV detected in South San Jose
“Red Phone, haven’t heard any news lately about how bad the West Nile Virus is this year. Any updates?”
Red Phone: Dear Wondering, Red Phone contacted Santa Clara County Vector Control District, which confirmed that adult mosquitoes collected from south San Jose tested positive for West Nile virus Friday. The detection has prompted the scheduling of a mosquito fogging treatment in the area. Weather permitting, the ground fogging is scheduled for 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Residents can view a map of the fogging area at www.sccvector.org, read the latest alerts about WNV activity in the county, and request advice or services.Â
For free assistance on mosquito control, WNV, or other vectors, residents can contact the district office by calling 918-4770/(800) 675-1155 or fill out a service request at www.sccvector.org.
Hope that answers your question, good caller.
