Thanks for fixing this issue!

This issue was falsely reported as closed, as the photograph shows. The bin also has graffiti and stickers that need to be removed.

Who is responsible for multiple false closures of issues like this one? As this morning's photograph shows, there has been no change whatsoever. Stop lying about it, PWD!

Thrice in a week now, PWD has lied about having "addressed this issue." Will they go for a fourth?

How many times has PWD claimed to have "addressed this issue?" Until I've seen it with mine own two eyes, I won't believe it, but I can't go take a look this evening.

My doubts confirmed. Perhaps semi-half-done is good enough for the folks at PWD, but it's not for the residents of Oakland. The "new" cage apparently came with tags and stickers, and PWD didn't bother with the tags and stickers that were already on the bin.

How much could get done if PWD ever got it right the first time?

Given how many times PWD has already lied about this, I won't believe it until I've seen it with my own two eyes.

Additional photographic evidence of PWD lies. Clean it up already!

As I guessed, PWD lied about it once more. Will you ever understand that it's easier to get it right the first time?

Translation: "For the sixth time in three weeks, City of Oakland Public Works Department decided, on 10/23/2014, that it simply couldn't be bothered with service request # 547050." It's just a lot easier to say you've done some than to actually do it.

Peeling off the stickers is admittedly difficult, but removing the tags is even more of a pain.

Not looking any different, PWD...

Nor does the top of the cage

Covered with new tags and stickers.

So, PWD, you "addressed this issue" by breaking the door on the receptacle?
