This has been addressed, but never fixed. Every time the city cleans it up there is a new tenant after a few weeks. This is also becoming a regular parking spot for unregistered RV's, especially when it rains like right now. I know the city has these encampments all over the city and under all the freeway overpasses, but this is a residential neighborhood and in this location a simple fence at the top or bottom of the concrete slop and no parking signs would solve the problem. This would make this heavily traveled road safe for bikes with a designated bike lane and remove the RV's and encampments. The cost of the fence/signs has to be less than the constant clean ups that have to take place.
