Keeping SAN JOSE CLEAN is Now Just a Click Away
The City of San Jose’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services and the Anti-Graffiti/Anti-Litter Program launched a free SAN JOSE CLEAN application on Thursday, January 12, 2012 that allows residents with smartphones to point, click and send photos and reports of graffiti, litter and city park conditions directly to City staff.

These applications also allow users to choose an option to receive updates on the status of their request. Both the Android application and iPhone application are now available for the public to download to their smartphone.

For Android-type Phone Users
Download the application from the Droid Market by searching for the keyword "San Jose Clean" and then click on SAN JOSE CLEAN.

For iPhone Users
Download the SAN JOSE CLEAN application from the iPhone App Store by searching for the keyword "San Jose Clean" and selecting SAN JOSE CLEAN.

The SAN JOSE CLEAN application was developed by App-Order at no cost to the City.

Residents can still continue to report graffiti to the Anti-Graffiti Program by email at antigraffiti@sanjoseca.gov or by phone at (866) 249-0543. Litter can also be reported by email to antigraffiti@sanjoseca.gov or by phone at (408) 277-3208.

Spotlight on City Services: Report a Street Light Outage
Streetlight wire theft has been on the increase and is one of a few major factors causing a growing backlog of streetlight outages across the City. Wire theft occurrences in District 4 tallied at 31 in 2010-2011. The Department of Transportation (DOT) is using available resources to address and discourage these occurrences, including coordination with the Police Department and outreach to the community. Additional resources will be required to address the remaining locations in need of repair and this request will be considered as part of the Mid-Year Budget Process.

During the fall and winter seasons, outages are reported at a higher rate which results in a growing backlog of streetlight outages - both for routine bulb replacements and more complex electrical repairs. Unfortunately, due to the type of issues and longer repair timeframes, some residents are experiencing frustration with the length of time to complete more complex repairs. Staff is prioritizing certain repairs and evaluating maintenance practices to address the backlog in as timely a manner as possible. They are assigning priority for repairs to locations based on safety considerations as well as the number of lights impacted at a given location; using repair techniques that minimize the likelihood of reoccurrence in the same location.

It is important that residents and businesses be vigilant in informing the Police Department if they suspect potential wire theft from the City’s streetlight system. Only uniformed City of San Jose maintenance personnel, using City vehicles that have the City’s identifiable logo, are authorized to work on the City’s streetlights. If any member of the public suspects that unauthorized individuals are engaged in activity on the City’s streetlight system, they should immediately call 911 and provide the Police Department with a description of the location, the vehicle and license number, and the individuals involved. For more information, please click here.

To report a street light outage, follow the procedures below:

I. Obtain Information
1. Street light pole number, located on streetlight pole at eye level facing the street (an alphabet letter is located in the middle of the number).
2. Street name and address where street light is located. Indicate if pole is in front of, across from, or in-between the address given.
3. Nearest cross street.
4. Your name, spelling (if calling) and day time phone number.

II. Report Information to any one of the following:
1. Street Light Recording Phone Number: (408) 794-1903. The recording is available to you 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week and messages are transcribed each business day.
2. Voice Mail: (408) 277-5571. Speak slowly and clearly and give all necessary information.
3. E-mail: street.lights@sanjoseca.gov
4. Fax: (408) 277-3164 (include your daytime phone #)

Hình chụp của 1 phóng viên Liên Xô: Một cảnh đấu tố tại miền Bắc có hình thờ các lãnh tụ Cộng sản được treo trên cao. Trong hình một thanh niên có vẽ có học thức, đang bị Cộng Sản đấu tố. Cán bộ Cộng Sản ngồi trên bàn chủ tọa. Nông dân nghèo được khích động, hứa hẹn chia của và huấn luyện sẵn để đánh đập, sỉ vả, kết tội người bị đấu tố.

Người bị đấu tố sắp bị bắn

Người bị đấu tố vừa bị bắn chết trước sự chứng kiến của dân chúng. Tài sản người bị đấu tố thường bị tịch thu, gia đình người bị đấu tố bị đuổi ra khỏi nhà. Thân nhân bị cô lập, không được hành nghề, không được làm mướn. Hàng triệu người miền Bắc là nạn nhân của Cộng Sản, đã sống trong tình trạng đói khổ, cùng quẩn suốt cuộc đời. Phần lớn những người bị đấu tố chỉ là những nông dân giỏi, khá giả nhờ vào tài sức của mình. Họ đã bị giết chết, bị cướp đọat tài sản một cách oan uổng
