Hollister public works official Marcelo Orta responded that the weeds have not been eliminated yet, as jurisdiction issues are somewhat unclear in that area by the roadway. It also falls right near an area that is by the border of what is considered private and public, Orta said. Three different entities are working to better define jurisdiction to address such matters – the parks and streets divisions of the city, and the county as well, Orta said.
