Easement clearance and alley maintenance quality
Summary
The city hired the San Jose Conservation Corps for three years of clearing overgrown vegetation and debris from utility easements — work that also reduces fire risk. A resident complained that last summer's alley clearing was sloppy, and pushed the Council to postpone approval until the scope of work was in the packet; staff said the full bid documents live on the Planet Bids portal.
