I understand the city has decided to do nothing about the homeless encampments, but we should not allow the city to be a garbage dump! This area needs a serious clean up! Disgusting and unhealthy.

I am not sure. I went "old school" and went to their website:

Sadly, Cal Trans is pointing the finger back at the City saying the area is their responsibility. Here is the response to my Cal Trans request below. Basically, they closed it and said, "Sorry, not us. It's Oakland's problem."
Your concern as submitted in the Maintenance Service Request has been addressed, and your ticket has been closed. Thank you for using the Caltrans web site to notify us of your concern. At Caltrans we're here to get you there. If you have any questions please call our District Office, at (510) 286-6173.
Message from District MSR Coordinator: This is not under Caltrans control but that of the City of Oakland. Please contact the City to fix the problem.
