Easy on "shame on u Oakland." What u saw is an on going problem for our neighborhood that we're working hard on finding a solution. If u have one...I would love to know it. Thanks in advance.

I think the solution should be the same one used in other neighborhoods of Oakland. It seems that the city has some solution for making sure this doesn't happen in Adams Pt, Rockridge, "Uptown", North Oakland. West Oakland should receive the same regard as those neighborhoods.

City of Oakland Public Works Department referred this issue to OPD, PWA CONTACT service request # 535471.Please contact that department to follow-up, see “Other Helpful Links” at:
