Re: Traffic Concern at Element Apartment Complex

+ SVBC San Jose Local Group

Hi Jeremy,

I have added the local group for SVBC because this is a problem/issue that I have brought up with them before and they are all very interested in making San Jose a safer place.

For this stretch I had reported multiple times that the signs were in the wrong place (or missing) and where they should likely be.

DOT did the 5-8 week field investigation and determined the fix:

—

The result was this new sign was placed in exactly the wrong place.

Then I went back a few weeks later to find out it was changed to what I had suggested:

and the newly installed sign, in the wrong location, was moved to the beginning of the bike lane where it belonged.

Can you let us know what happened, as I would like to know the process for getting this kind of thing corrected in less than 2 years.

thanks,  Matthew

Hello Matthew, 

Staff have conducted a field investigation at Element Apartment Complex. Staff found that signs and markings are appropriately placed and in functioning conditions. Staff determined that the NSA signs will be changed to remind vehicles that parking is not allowed along the segment. However, staff also determined that parking along Element Apartment Complex is in high demand and have opened up a portion for parking. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Hi Jeremy,

I am glad that this finally made it to you, I had first reported it close to 2 years ago, and several times in between.

If you have not been given the information on the issue, it is not complicated and I have already provided many photos to show what the issue is, which is very simple:  Concerning the NO PARKING FROM HERE and TO HERE signs, one is missing and the other one is in the wrong place (in the actual parking area).

One sign needs to be installed and one sign needs to be moved.

thanks,  Matthew
