Thank you.

So you referred this uprooted signpost issue to the zoo. They don't usually follow up on anything that doesn't directly affect their gate fees. The sign is an Oakland Parks and Rec sign -- and seems obvious that Public Works could easily replace it.

Here it is the end of August, four months since this easy to replace sign was reported as uprooted and on the ground. Please either ask Parks and Rec to deal with it or tell the zoo that they are responsible for the whole park.

Still waiting for action. Please read my previous comments.

Call the Oakland Zoo and ask to speak with Nik Dehejia. He will take note of this problem.

Wow. No action. Apparently no one downtown cares to keep the Oakland Zoo accountable for its responsibilities. Why am I not surprised?

Your efforts have been empty, but my comment area can't be left blank.

I’m still receiving notices that this issue has not been addressed THREE AND A HALF YEARS later. Please contact Nik Dehejia at the zoo. It is his responsibility.
