It is time to set a clear public policy and calendar removal all these encampments at the intersections. Dangerous for those trying to live there -- and for pedestrians, joggers, cyclists. Pollution goes directly into SF Bay.
As of a couple of days ago MOST of the debris and trash along the Bay Trail had been removed. Kudos to city staff!
However, the areas around encampments are filled with piles of trash. There was a large pile of trash right at University as cars come off the W.-bound off ramp from I-80. Trash is ever-present along Frontage Road. MUCH more needs to be done to find housing for the few people who try to live in these areas and to completely close encampments and clear the area.
As of this evening (2-1-2020) the trash and debris at encampments both north and south of Univ. Ave on West Frontage Rd. are worse than ever! This ongoing problem must be addressed by a coalition of all agencies: City of Berkeley, CalTrans, Police, Sherrifs, Alameda Co., etc., etc.
