These "campers" have turned this area and so many other places into a huge filthy and disgusting mess. Ignoring this huge problem is only making it worse.

Until Oakland leaders step up and quit making excuses this problem isn't going away anytime soon. Very unhealthy and unsanitary to all.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to CALTRANS TRAFFIC,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).

Here are some important City of Oakland contact points:
* Abandoned Autos: 510-777-8622 (abandoned vehicles on public street after 3 days)
* Animal Control: 510-535-5602 (live animals) or 510-535-4888 (dead animals)
* Code Enforcement: 510-238-3381 (blighted private properties, deteriorated buildings, inoperable vehicles on private property)
* Drug Hotline: 510-238-3784 (tips) or 510-777-3211 (in progress)
* Parking Citations: 800-500-6484 (parking citation assistance center, pay or appeal a citation) or 510-238-3099 (enforcement)
* Prostitution Hotline: 510-238-2373 (tips) or 510-777-3211 (in progress)

Thank you.

This problem persists. I didn't notice any repair.

Please fill out an MSR (Maintenance service request) at Caltrans website. I will submit one also. They have the same issue most of these agencies have no money, not enough staff and no viable leadership.
