I've watched this get worse and worse in the last few months. A crew came out in an 'adopt a highway' truck two weeks ago but didn't do a thing about it. Just drove up, honked their horn, talked to some folks in the camp then left with the whole shanty town in tact.

You may also want to file a Cal Trans Maintenance request here: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/maint/msrsubmit/

The more of us that do that the better. I'm going to submit another.

City of Oakland Public Works Agency referred this issue to CALTRANS TRAFFIC, service request # 506011.Please contact that agency to follow-up, see “Other Helpful Links” at:
