Dear Members of the San Jose City Council,

 I am writing to formally petition the City Council to take immediate and decisive action regarding the ongoing illegal RV parking on Largo Dr- Bethany Ave (Cataldi park). In last one year, a significant number of RVs have been parked illegally along this street, creating severe safety and health hazards for the residents and visitors in our community. Despite multiple complaints filed through the City’s online complaint portal, no substantive action has been taken, and the situation has only deteriorated.

 Our neighborhood's safety has become compromised due to the increasing presence of illegal recreational vehicles (RVs) parked on our streets. Residents and their children are constantly at risk, as these vehicles are often parked near public spaces on the way to parks, where children play and pedestrians walk.The safety of our residents and children is at stake, and immediate action is necessary.

These illegally parked RVs not only obstruct traffic but also pose various hazards to the community. Often, they lack proper waste disposal facilities, leading to unsanitary conditions that could potentially harm our health. Moreover, these RVs have become hotspots for illicit activities, further threatening the security of our neighborhood. Our children should be able to play outside without the fear of stumbling upon dangerous items or individuals involved in unlawful activities.

These RVs typically use flammable substances to cook and heat their vehicles, increasing the risk of fire. There have cases of human fece around the area on side walk putting residents directly at health risk. 

 Despite the City’s awareness of these issues through numerous online complaints, the RVs continue to move from one spot to another along the same street, remaining effectively in place for nearly 1 year. This behavior demonstrates a blatant disregard for the law and the community’s well-being, undermining the trust residents have in the City’s ability to enforce regulations.

 There are clear regulations against parking such vehicles in residential areas for extended periods. It's crucial for local authorities to enforce these laws to ensure our streets are safe and welcoming for all.

We urge the City of San Jose and local law enforcement to take immediate action to remove these illegal RVs  from largo Dr-Bethany Ave around peaceful Cataldi park. This will not only restore our neighborhood's safety but also preserve its appeal and harmony.

We expect a response within 30 days and would appreciate a clear outline of the steps the City intends to take to resolve this issue.
