Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Oakland Call Center, but additional information will be needed before your service request can be processed. At this location, is there a accumulation of litter or has items been illegally dumped ? This information will help us better process your request. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I am not sure how the trash got there--just reporting that it is there. It might be more likely to be litter, but that is immaterial to the issue it causes.

Try contacting call center for this. 615-5566. This is a road hazard that needs to be taken care of.

I am confused. I reported the issue here. Why am I being told I have to report it twice? It is reported. Is there some reason the City of Oakland can't refer a report like this to another department? Forgive me if this is rude, but it feels a little ridiculous. It is not my job to navigate city agencies -- I am a regular citizen with my own responsibilities. Please take this issue forward and resolve it.

Someone has been dumping trash inside the tunnel at the curve pretty much since it opened. At best, it's ugly and at worst, if it's flowing onto the roadway, it's dangerous.

D.C. My intention was to inform you that calling works better than waiting to have someone sort though the thousand's of reports submitted to Oakland public works SCF app. I am just trying to let the SCF users know when reporting hazardous or dangerous issues also contact the PWD call center. In my opinion the City of Oakland is a reactive city and run very inefficiently.

David Coleman - Oh I see--I thought you worked for the city, but you are a lowly civilian like me. I will try what you say when I get a moment.

Meanwhile, City of Oakland, I have answered your question. Apparently others agree this is dangerous, so some action would be helpful.
