Thank you.

Its at 6th and Webster how is this a Caltrans issue. PWD do a drive by. Well not that kind of drive by.

FYI, the reason this is a Caltrans issue is that Caltrans owns the freeways, AND all the land under the freeways, and as silly as it sounds, Oakland won't do anything about it.

The map and the address show city streets, yes the Caltrans is responsible the super structure under the freeways but not the streets and sidewalks. They are the PWD to clean up. If it on Caltrans property then file a MSR at Caltrans website but from what you posted it is Oakland PWD job to clean up.

Still there...
