What were the noncompliance complains?
Answer - Residences have been complaining that Subaru’s employees are parking on Cecil Avenue, operating the emergency door on Cecil Avenue, and hauling waste to the Lincoln dealership Would the request improve Mission Trail's waste pickup operation efficiency? Answer - No, as Mission Trail is incapable of entering the Subaru dealership from Cecil Avenue as their trucks don't have enough clearance.
Will the waste container be wheeled out from the waste enclosure? Answer - Mission Trail's waste container for Subaru cannot be rolled out of the enclosure as it doesn't have wheels. The container is too large to have wheels. 1500 Warburton Avenue ● Santa Clara, CA 95050 ● Phone 408-615-2450 ● Fax: 408-247-9857 ● www.SantaClaraCA.gov Re:
