  Now that it has been referred to CALTRANS TRAFFIC (I submitted maint request to CALTRANS as MSR Ticket Number: 553748) contrary to the post by Gary Knecht on 4/26/13 - what happens next? I do not see any activity for cleaning up this eyesore.

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  Thank you for contacting the Public Works Agency regarding this matter. This request was erroneously submitted to Caltrans Maintenance. The request has been re-assigned to Public Works KOCB, illegal dumping group for abatement. We apologize for the confusion.

  Thank you.

  Thank you for the additional follow-up Jeff A! It is extremely helpful to know that Public Works is now taking responsibility. All local residents and property owners are extremely grateful for the weekly cleanups and improved lighting that we expect will now occur (and Oakland should look forward to the increased sales tax and property tax revenue that should result). Just for the information of other concerned citizens, I spoke with an aide on the Governor's helpline last week and referred them to this specific SeeClickFix matter (in response to the Governor's statement at the Lakeside celebrations that if Oakland residents required help, they should call him), requesting that one agency take responsibility. At the time, the Governor's office apparently believed it was CalTrans who would handle it, and after some discussion, the representative indicated that he believed that the Governor's office could be of help in dealing with this. Let's all keep following up and commenting to appropriate parties to ensure the follow through that will help us all.

  For future reference, based on a call with CalTrans and some other research), best initial contacts for Broadway underpass issues are as follows (although CalTrans and City Public Works will exchange misdirected requests):

  1. City of Oakland for street level issues on Broadway itself out to the end of the sidewalk. Reporting options are as follows:
  a. Use SeeClickFix.com or 510-615-5566 to reach City of Oakland Public Works to report trash, graffiti, dumping, potholes on Broadway, blocking the sidewalk, etc.
  b. Use 510-777-333 for non-emergency police issues—e.g. crazy person on the sidewalk yelling and throwing trash.

  2. CalTrans for freeway specific issues and issues under the freeway on the other side of the sidewalk (e.g. homeless encampment under the freeway beside the Webster Tube or lighting from overpass level). CalTrans confirmed the following reporting options:
  a.. Use http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/maint/msrsubmit/ for any type of service request to be made online. (CalTrans will route to appropriate department within CalTrans).
  b. For telephone calls:
  i. Use 510-614-5942 to report illegal dumping, freeway pot holes, homeless encampment, or overgrown vegetation.
  ii. Use 415-330-6500 to report graffiti on signs, striping, or electrical issue (includes overpass level lighting).

  As an actual example, CalTrans has assigned MSR Ticket No. 554354 in response to an online maintenance request for improved Broadway overpass lighting and indicated that they will report back after hearing from the engineering department.
