The underpass on Broadway between 5th and 6th Streets requires (1) pressure washing at both street level and at the top of the red pillars to get rid of the ugly, smelly bird droppings, which really make the artwork look gross, and (2) repair to the City-installed lighting at the bottom of the pillars. We really appreciate the recently improved trash pickups by the City and CalTrans' now keeping the underpass lit from above during the day. These last two requests are City and NOT CalTrans matters, since they relate to the area where the "artwork" pillars are located on and above the sidewalk on the street side of the CalTrans fence.

Here is photo of bird droppings at top of pillar--also requires pressure washing here.

As the gateway to Jack London Square and seen by hundreds of people a day, this underpass should be kept particularly clean and welcoming.

In order to reduce the unhealthy amount of pigeon droppings, please install bird or pigeon spikes at the top of the freeway columns and posts.

This obviously needs to be addressed on an ongoing basis. People shouldn't have to report this on SeeClickFix weekly. This just results in unnecessary administrative work and time would be better spent addressing the problem on a regular basis. The City should have a list of hotspots like this that need ongoing care. What an absolute dream it would be to never have to report about this area again. But if it is not addressed we'll continue to be squeaky wheels.

Yes, walked there today, and fixing this issue will really make a huge difference in the neighborhood. Thank you for the attention.

Yes, agreed! Between that any the almost constant urine smell, walking back and forth to the BART station is a trial.

Prior to 2009, there were few shootings in the JLS area. Since that time, there have been multiple shootings and more deaths than you can count on one hand. The filth and homeless encampments under the freeway send a strong message to would-be criminals that the neighborhood is not being patrolled. Mayor Quan should take a page out of Mayor Bloomberg's playbook: When you clean up the filth, and enforce a zero-tolerance policy, crime goes down.

I believe it is time to start filing maintenance requests to Caltrans for the underpass encampments. On June 4 I submitted a Broadway underpass maintenance request to Caltrans at http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/maint/msrsubmit/ (see http://seeclickfix.com/issues/555605 for this and other contact information) but it was kicked back as an Oakland issue. I'll submit for the encampments specifically and post response.

Per both CalTrans rep by telephone and the City's website, homeless encampments behind the fence are CalTrans issues. Relevant telephone number is as follows, in case you want to try calling as well. (510) 614-5942 (illegal dumping, pot holes, homeless encampment, overgrown vegetation). Obtained from http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm

Jeff--if the homeless encampment is between the fence and the street, then it is City of Oakland.

I completely agree. When neighborhoods look neglected it lowers property values, makes residents feel depressed and hopeless and gives criminals the impression they can do whatever they want.

Please clean this area on a regular/weekly basis. It is an eyesore and discourages visitors from walking from downtown to Jack London Square. I run through this area as I walk to Bart because it is so filthy.

The City and the Jack London District Association are holding a Town Hall Meeting on this subject next week. As the eyes/ears and voices of our community See Click Fix users input could be very valuable.
