San Jose Resolves 98% of Abandoned Car Cases, Yet Residents Say Streets Still Clogged

Roosevelt Park — Reported Neighborhood of Vehicle Complaints. San Jose’s Department of Transportation closed 98% of roughly 10,000 vehicle abatement cases within two weeks, according to the city Auditor’s Office. That measure tracks case resolution, not necessarily a vehicle’s permanent removal: a case can close after an owner moves a car, even if it later returns. Residents including Davide Vieira say the distinction matters on streets where inoperable and abandoned vehicles remain a recurring sight.

Riders with disabilities fear bus cuts if Measure RTM fails

To get to San Francisco, artist Jillian Crochet, who is disabled, must plan her route well in advance. If she takes AC Transit, which requires traveling to and waiting at the bus stop, she must keep an eye out for the weather – Crochet is heat sensitive, and her power wheelchair cannot get wet. On rainy days, she must book a paratransit ride at 5 p.m. the day before. The commute from Oakland takes about two hours, and she fears it could get even longer if a transit funding measure fails on Tuesday.
