The Van left at 1:15 on the day I reported it. In my citizens class put on by the City of Oakland I was told to report city employees who were not acting responsibly. A city van parked at fire hydrant in a red zone blocking traffic for a hour plus fits.

You have combined this report with #1530312: A COMPLETELY UNRELATED ISSUE!?!
1530312 = about locks on Lake Merritt Bridge, beats #3 + #19x.
This issue is about City employees parking illegally in front of fire hydrants for > an hour.

What is going on here??? This kind of sloppy 'mistake' in combining reports/issues will erode trust in the efficacy of this system VERY QUICKLY, and folks will not be willing to devote the time any longer to clicking through, reading, voting, thanking, etc. issues in Oakland. Please correct this error in categorization! Our DPW deserves accurate help! :-(

Thank you for picking up that error. For all the wonderful things they do they still need better systems in place. Besides employee misbehavior, Can they come up with scheduled trash pick up for city trash cans.(Pet peeve)
