Not picked up. All trash still on creek side in park across from 2212 Courtland. Look for bench in park & look down into creek.

This picture from street. Can't see trash from street. It is IN Courtland creek so walk to the creek edge & look down

Still waiting!!!!!

More trash has been added because OPW still hasn't picked up

Still waiting for clean up. This trash was dumped in creek behind no dumping sign. Shame on dumper & OPW .

26 days and this still hasn't been cleaned. Please handle this Oakland Public Works. We want a clean creek

Still waiting for cleanup. Almost 2 months

Still waiting for cleanup since January 8th when first reported.

Finally got an answer but just passing the buck again. City of Oakland Public Works Agency referred this issue to ACPWA, DRAINAGE and guess what ACPWA said??? See below:

We are also aware of this problem, and have reported the illegal dumping to the City of Oakland. When they receive complaints like these, the City forwards a copy to Alameda County Public Works Agency for informational purposes. Because this is not within our jurisdiction, we have no authority to enter this property for clean-up purposes.

Your best course of action is to continue following up with the City of Oakland’s Public Works Agency.

Thanks,
Nanci Erven-Collins, Alameda County Public Works Agency, (510) 670-6477

As with the illegal parking issue. Noel Gallo and Claudia Burgos they are the go to people forward this to them.

I have already tried Noel Gallo and never get response to any emails.

Forward this SEECLICKFIX issue to Claudia Burgos cburgos@oaklandnet.com and officeofthemayor@oaklandnet.com. Keep on them.

Thx David. I will keep plugging away. The neighborhood looks much better these days which is due to all the wonderful neighbors that keep working to clean it up. Sometimes it feels like we are Sisyphus pushing that rock up the hill than watching it roll back down.

More like pushing the rock up EL Capitan. Seems the the real battle is in the Clawson area. Keep the good work. Somebody has to do it.

I have no reason to bash public works. they have always been responsive in the Cleveland Heights neighborhood within two days to several days until removal which works for me.

Swimmy44 - I find OPW is great with the easy to pick up items they see from their truck. I understand they are overwhelmed with all the dumpers and I appreciate how hard and how never ending their job is.

The problem is creating an app like SeeClickFix and having all the requests go only to one department in OPW with no connection to the other city services. For example: When OPW refers a cleanup to Animal Services or another department - that department often never receives the notice or never acts on it. Now the original request is closed requiring the citizen has to start again with a fresh SeeClickFix ticket.

The reporting system is helping but has some major bugs still.

No!!! Trash is still there as of morning 3/21/2014. It has been there since January 8th. Still working on contacting various agencies to find out whom is in charge of cleaning Courtland Creek. So far no luck.

So far I have contacted Libby Schaaf, ACPWA, Pamela Boyle Rodriguez (from Environmental Resources) , Claudia Burgos and still no luck. So frustrating
