Thank you.

Can't hold back any longer. This is a city park, why can't you take care of it. The Hacienda is cared for but once you drop down to the creek it's a dumping ground, a danger and disgrace! There should be cameras through this area so you can catch those that are dumping and dealing. The city could pay for the cameras after just a few arrests and fines. What a concept. It has to be cheaper than constantly paying to go out ad pick up the trash from both the park AND the street. Many years ago I paid someone to dump my trash. Found in the Oakland hills and knocking on my door immediately. Would have been fined but I had a receipt showing I paid and they went after the person that dumped it. That's what a camera could do for this area. GET IT TOGETHER so we can stop bringing this to you attention and FIX OUR POT HOLES. What has always been a nice family area is going down hill because we are the in between and no one thinks of us. Disgrace!!!!!!! 40 years here, Paid enough taxes to do it all myself!!!!!!!!
