Thank you.

I reported this 60 days ago: nothing has changed: although those particular illegal dumping items have been removed, other illegal dumping, littering, human feces "dumping", soiled toilet paper, homeless person accoutrements (the ever-handy baby stroller for example), all associated with this Bus Stop #58525, have replaced them. Was told by City to contact AC Transit and get request from property owner to remove that Bus Stop #58528....which I did......And you can see how effective THAT was. Haven't had time to contact Councilmember Dan Kalb or Mayor Libby Schaaf. Need to do that.

Thank you for removing the AC Transit stop bench: since its removal the whole issue of chronic blight, waste, litter and drug activity has disappeared.

Thanks for being persistent, this is exactly what Oakland needs to do, take away what these people use and things will clean up.
