Updates from Community Development Department, Santa Clara University, and Police Department

Expressed frustration over difficulties contacting university officials regarding campus app improvements, litter, and parking issues, and highlighted the usefulness of the My Santa Clara app.

Shared concerns about student rental properties displaying discarded furniture and beer pong tables, excessive noise during sorority rush, and felt that past city and university responses dismissed resident complaints.

Praised police and code enforcement for responding to specific resident calls, but urged faster action on crosswalk safety at Alviso and Benton, noting that similar promises were made years ago.

Thanked the committee for discussing the Alviso and Benton intersection, noting that neighbors have advocated for safety upgrades for over seven years.
