Get the homeless off the streets . Clean up Oakland. Some parts of this city are depressing, especially W. Oakland where the homeless are in charge. Start putting the homeless mess at the top of the list of things to do. It's out of hand.

Please fill out a MSR at Caltrans website. At lease you will know that Catrans was contacted and what they did to fix.

Now a year and a half later, and this is still an issue.

Of coarse its still an issue the Feds, State, County and City governments have turned a blind eye to this huge problem. In 2015 HUD reported in excess of 600,000 people living on the streets of this county with 25% in Calif. Most of these street people have serious drug and alcohol problems or are suffering mental illness. There is also a lot who have decided why work why follow any rules free food free phones, tents, every thing but housing which they do not qualify for. This is only going to get worse.

That's how the city works

That's how the dysfunction and reactive City of Oakland works. Which is not working.

Now open for 660 days. What a joke.

1290 days and counting...

Thanks for keeping this deplorable and disgusting service request open.

1800 days now. This website is a joke.
