The city of San Jose Transportation Department told me months ago that several of the major streets of town, like Meridian Avenue, that i use most often,are "suppose to be timed" instead of stopping at every signal wasting valuable time and expensive gasoline. They could not say when they would reprogram the lights, so i phoned the mayor's office and left a message to please catch-up with old business and get these major street lights reprogrammed and timed. No answer. A very small job.
Cindy Chavez, the vice mayor, wants to be mayor, but can not even fix a little problem like this in San Jose's long long long list of old business that need small fixes, like tell the dam lazy city Transportation Department to get off its permanent coffee break and do a good job !! I say Ms. Chavez may have Bill "the liar" Clinton advertising for her,,,and the local Silicon Valley political power machine that has not apologized for saddling us with such a terrible mayor, Gonzales, that probably should be locked up in jail for years and years,,,but certainly there must be a more competent candidate out there for mayor of this messed up city that i often still live in than the go -along- to- get -along Ms. Chavez. We should expect and demand much better civil service ,for all that it is COSTING all of us , in money ,opportunity, and the loss of respect if you are asked "do you live in ,,,(san jose) ? Soo embarassing.
