It would be really nice if they would remove this camp from the on-ramp. I' really concerned about the smell, debris and if the people living there may get hit by a car.

I have emailed CalTrans at caltrans_d4@dot.ca.gov to see if they are able to help!

Reported to Cal Trans and here is their response:
Pursuant to our Maintenance Agreement with the City of Vallejo, this area belongs to them. To request service please go to: http://www.cityofvallejo.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=13506&pageId=118179 Thank you

When will Cal Trans replace these on and off ramps? They are pushing responsibility onto Vallejo. Do they get away with this in other cities? I doubt it. Benicia doesn't seem to have this problem. CalTrans was supposed to rebuild this whole section of on and off ramps 2 years ago. This problem would not exist if they did their jobs.

Strange how ppl suggest everything except homes and housing for the homeless. Rotation isn’t a solution

Dee J - Rotation is not a solution, however letting drugged-out homeless people who have no respect for the environment leaving human feces and tons of trash throughout the neighborhood live where ever they want is NOT the answer either.

Dee-J, actually VPD brings with them resources for the homeless such as drug rehab and shelter people to help the homeless transition into one of these places. Our water table in Vallejo is very low and is being impacted by human waste, they also tend to move into areas near waterways which increases the bacterial problem, and the trash makes for a degradation of any neighborhood. Vallejo is actually trying to help these people out of their situation but if they aren't going to participate then they need to move on. Why should we all suffer because a person doesn't feel like playing by the norms? It is costing all of us a lot of money to clean up the trash created by the homeless not to mention the hazardous situations for all involved.

Pray tell, where is all of this “housing” that’s being offered to the homeless located? There isn’t even enough housing available in Vallejo for that amount of ppl. Which is why I know whatever is being offered to them is extremely temporary and limited. Our money is being spent wrong. We must invest in affordable housing, shelters, mental health care and rehabilitation. The COV doesn’t want to invest in it’s less fortunate residents so I don’t expect it to get better before it gets worse. Whats being done to prevent any more ppl from becoming homeless? Absolutely Nothing!

Sundance I won’t even entertain ppl that generalize all homeless ppl as “drugged out”. I suppose you would carry your urine and feces around in a bag if you had no bathrooms available to you 🙄

Whats pathetic is believing that you are on the moral high ground here. Despicable perpetual victims

Code Enforcement Division assigned this issue to Christina E., Community Services Section (CSS)

The real issue is with other cities and the State of California. The funds for homelessness should be funded collectively by all residents of our state, not by Vallejo. Other cities provide their homeless with bus tickets to Vallejo. Then, somehow we are supposed to be able to pay for their problems. Why do people come to Vallejo, which has a lower income per capita than nearby El Cerrito, Hercules, Berkeley, Kensington, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, etc? It's not like panhandling will net a much higher sum of money. They come because the problem is being passed on, rather than dealt with by cities with higher discretionary income. Vallejo needs to deal with the schools, crime and garbage. It's not like taking our eyes off of these realities will help the homeless. California must pay for a problem that is not Vallejo's problem alone. We do our part. Let others do theirs as well.

This app erased my entry -- it waited until I had completely typed my entry to require me to sign in. Then it erased everything. In a nutshell: the State of California should pay to correct the homeless problem that exists in our city. Other higher income cities should pay as well. After all, they give their homeless bus tickets to Vallejo, knowing full well we cannot support the issues that have been pushed onto us. Furthermore, the USA at the federal level should pay the State of California because homeless come here because they can live outdoors --beautiful weather. It's a major reason that we receive the influx from other areas. Vallejo has enough issues to correct: schools, crime, garbage. All of these require money and allowing others to send their bills / homeless without paying is outrageous. Send the bill for these expenses to the governor.

Nobody is providing bus tickets to Vallejo. Most of these homeless ppl have been living here for 10+ years and more ppl are becoming homeless daily. An audit of how our tax dollars are being spent would be a more reasonable request. Too many well paid city officials are neglecting to do their jobs and the VPD is almost useless.

Prayerful I agree with you.. Send them to Gov Useless Newsom

The Governor would probably respond before VPD and the City Council does 😂

Dee J - I did NOT generalize all homeless ppl as “drugged out” however it is a problem near our area and community.

Dee J, You are correct. Not every homeless person is from elsewhere, but having actually spoken with and fed many homeless -- the tell a different story. Please check all the facts before asserting inaccurate corrections.

Thanks for fixing this request!

Prayerful... get back to me once you’ve performed a census. Until then, your opinion doesn’t equal facts. Nobody out of State is buying homeless ppl bus tickets to Vallejo. I don’t care who you spoke to 😂🤣 Most Ppl outside of California have never even heard of Vallejo 😂😂😂
