Description
The path between San Carlos and Congress has overgrown weeds and bushes. The path is destroyed with big holes dug by tires of all the illegally parked cars. The City of Oakland parking citation department seems incapable of enforcing the illegal parking after numerous phone calls.

I received the following reply after emailing the above persons:
"Good Morning – Thank you for bringing this to our attention, a Parking Enforcement Supervisor is looking into the matter.
Thank you,
Yvonne Cropp
Parking Enforcement Manager

I wish there was a way to privately message concerned neighbors on these threads. Would CC you all on future correspondence...

I will copy and paste the message I received about this issue:
"Good morning,
We patrolled the area on 1/28/2014 at 1:38 p.m., 1/31/2014 at 12:36 p.m. and today at 11:15 a.m. The PCTs did not observe any vehicles parked in violation. We will continue to patrol the area.
Thanks.

I got an email reply to my request that they add a messaging feature:
Hi Eileen,
Thanks for getting in touch. Currently, there is no plan to implement additional "social" features on SeeClickFix, but I will certainly pass along your feedback to my colleagues.
In the event that we decide to pursue a redesign that integrates more social functionalities, is there anything you would like to see aside from messaging?
Regards,
Isabel
I wrote back saying it is a community organizing tool and not a social feature and is needed to improve our city. If you'd like to see messaging added, please email seeclickfix and ask.

Doesn't it make sense to patrol BEFORE 8:00 AM and AFTER 5 PM on weekdays?
Weekends would also be prime times to show up.
Does the Parking Enforcement Dept. work hours cover those periods?

"Does the Parking Enforcement Dept. work hours cover those periods?"
I doubt it. Someone should point out to them that people park on the path when they come home from work and then move their cars off the path when they leave for work.

Hi
Eileen: That would be a nice thought to be able to talk to them, if they were normal people. They have been known to throw rocks and start fights if anyone questions them about the illegal parking.
Fingers crossed-it has better lately. (probably jinxed it now).
EME-Parking Enforcement have banking hours 8:30 to 4 (lucky people).
Thanks EME, Chase and Eileen for all your continued hard work and feedback. I have to say the street is looking better.

I wrote to them again:
"Hello, and thank you for the patrols in that area. It appears the offenders are parking before 8:30a and after 5p - are there any PCTs who work during those hours?"
So, are we to assume that since they don't work after 4 that I can park anywhere in Oakland after 4p at no risk of getting a ticket?

regan4now Can you have someone clean the trash out of Courtland Creek? I have reported it multiple times since beginning of January with no results.
Here is the original ticket: http://seeclickfix.com/issues/881955-illegal-dumping
