The cars drive along the bike/pedestrian path from the 4th Street cul-de-sac at 11 4th Street to 8th Street.

The cars park in the area of the park bench which was first broken, and has now disappearered. This is described in:

I suspect that the bench was destroyed by the parking.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Department of Public Works, If you are reporting vehicle illegally parking and blocking the pathway at Channel Park, please contact OPD non emergency at (510) 777-3333 or parking enforcement at (510) 238-3099. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Oakland Parking Enforcement verified that driving on the bike/ped path is not legal. They also verified that parking in the park is not legal.

However, parking enforcement does not operate on Sundays, during the flea market.

Perhaps police non-emergency number can help.

It's better today, but still a few problems to be worked out.

Good news. There is an orange fence blocking car access to the ramp.

Bad news. It also blocks bikes. There is parking in front of three ramp. It is possible to go around the blocked area to a side ramp, but it is awkward, even if the ramp is available.

Talked to car 1401, which was aware of the problem

I called the police Sunday afternoon, about 1:30PM, with incident 418. A few minutes later, I talked to police car 1401, as noted above. Then I received a call back Monday morning at 2AM, trying to reach me.

It appears that the goal was to not reach me.
