"After years of complaints, residents near Mona Way felt a sense of relief immediately after San Jose established a temporary tow-away zone last summer on their street to combat problem RVs. No longer would they have to worry about an RV catching fire, like one did on the morning of March 10, or a vehicle infested with a nest of bees. Gone would be the stench, the animal excrement left on the streets from pets,"
"the impromptu Tai Chi blocking the sidewalk, and the safety concerns over strangers coming and going in their neighborhood - which is near both a school and a park. But that relief was short-lived. Instead, the Oversized and Lived-in Vehicle Enforcement program, or OLIVE, only provided a brief respite from the problems on their street that sits on the Campbell border."
Residents near Mona Way briefly experienced relief when San Jose established a temporary tow-away zone to remove problem RVs. The temporary measures reduced immediate hazards such as RV fires, infestations, foul odors, animal excrement, sidewalk obstructions and safety concerns near a school and park. The respite ended when the temporary zone expired and RVs returned in greater numbers on the San Jose side of the street. Residents report continued parking violations and frustration with enforcement. San Jose launched the OLIVE program to create additional temporary and permanent sites and expand investigations, while officials cautioned OLIVE is not a complete solution to unsheltered homelessness.
