This area is a continuous dumping ground for homeless residents living on CalTrans property as well as dwellers across the street. Please pick up. Thanks.

Yes, please take care of this trash and unkept roadside (and please check back often) -- this stretch of MacArthur is poorly maintained and a beacon for ne'er-do-wells. It's such a charming neighborhood and deserves attention.

Please fill out a MSR with Caltrans.

What is an MSR and how can we contact CalTrans - can't these SCF notices be forwarded to CalTrans by the city?

MSR is maintenance service request. Goggle caltrans MSR should link you to the form. easy to fill out. I do not trust that Oakland PWD to forwards anything to anybody. This way I know caltrans received it. They are not perfect but I have quite a few issues taken care of using this system.
SCF is a good way for a lot of people to see there is a problem.

ok, thanks, tried it, pretty easy although the dumping is adjacent to I-580 not on it.

This looks like it is a PWD issue but will not hurt to turn in the vagrants camping on caltrans property and doing all the dumping there. Still not a good solution the city and state just keep shuffling the campers and dumpers around.

I also completed an MSR. Unfortunately, trash still strewn about after one week.

I forwarded the whole string back from CalTrans who bucked it back to OPW to the Public Works email - I often report to them directly. Now there is a bunch of tires for the past few days. Do you overlook this spot or just walk around there?

Thanks for doing that. I'm just up street at Athol, so walk/drive by each day.

City of Oakland Public Works Department addressed this issue on 07/06/2015, service request # 589398.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
