This is terrible...

Dear DPW! Please send the cleaning crew for this: NOT COOL to leave it for area residents - including children - to encounter! Please prioritize this! :-(

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Department of Public Works regarding this matter. However, additional information is needed before your request can be processed. The location, Fruitvale Station, is not an exact location. Please provide additional information regarding the exact location of the blood. You can also submit an image of the location you are reporting. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The blood is right where the pin is dropped on the accompanying map. Nowhere does it say fruitvale station. The pin is right next to goodwill, where the blood is. Right next to goodwill.

DPW: According to the pin drop, it's on 29th, along the side of Goodwill Bldg; opposite the side of the Cesar Chavez Educational Center bldg. :-o Please remove!

i wonder if Oakland would require photo proof if this were rockridge or the hills... no, no i don't wonder.

This human blood puddle is now 6 days old.

400 views... And public work has acknowledged the blood puddle, but wants proof. 6 days of blood puddle next to a public school. Shameful

Dear Erasmosis: I FW'd this issue w/your photos to CM Gallo, requesting his 'nudge' to DPW for clean-up... :-o

Dear CM Gallo,
Could you please use your influence to have DPW prioritize this clean up, opposite Cesar Chavez School: 29th @ Int'l.?
:-o

Is this issue really Acknowledged? Or is it the cities plan to leave the blood on the sidewalk since its already disintegrating into stains that look like everything else on the ill kept sidewalks. This is blasphemous to human dignity. I just want to remind y'all that there is a school directly across from the blood puddles. Maybe the blood will remind them to "think college now."

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to OPD - CALL NON-EMERGENCY, (510) 777-3333. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).

Is OPD responsible for cleaning up the sidewalk? I seriously theyre going to come out with a pressure washer to clean this up.

*seriously hope

They may send the crime scene cleaner-uppers...? ("Forensic Cleaning"?)

Let's hope! We should not have to live like this. We as a people are better than this.

poor kids

Now its just another black spot part of the sidewalk filth.

still there
