Description

Everything from old sleeping bags and rotting tents to human waste is washing into the lake with the tides thanks to homeless camps all along the stretch beneath the pedestrian bridge and on toward the culverts by La Escuelita.

Every day, trash and waste float out into Lake Merritt from these camps. They're under the pedestrian bridge, along the once pristine and artistic walkways, dotting the shoreline beneath bushes...I've seen discarded water heaters even dumped down into the shallows here, leeching who knows what into the water, and the City of Oakland does nothing to keep them out.

There are used needles everywhere, graffiti all over the place, human feces left right on the sidewalks? Seriously???

Time to clean up your mess, Libby..
