  • 3501-3553 Mandela Pkwy Oakland, CA, 94608, USA - Clawson
    New day, same deal. Cars continue to park in the bike lane and on the sidewalk on Mandela right in front of the tuff sheds. Please protect cyclists by installing barriers between the motor lane and bike lane, as this issue has continued unabated for MONTHS and it is clear it will not resolve itself.
  • Mandela Pkwy Oakland, CA, 94607, USA - Oak Center

    Mandela Parkway marks the location of the Cypress Viaduct Freeway that collapsed during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, taking 42 of the 63 lives lost that day. In the wake of the earthquake, the freeway was not replaced, but instead the tree-lined Mandela Parkway was built both to honor the victims and so that a freeway would no longer divide and segregate West Oakland. It is the result of almost 15 years of collaboration between the West Oakland community and various City and State agencies. It is one of the most beautiful streets in this neighborhood and was named after Nelson Mandela to honor the spirit of collaboration, courage and tenacity it took to create something beautiful from the ashes of such tragic history. 

    As recently as this year, Mandela Parkway was a symbol of positivity in West Oakland. It was common to see residents relaxing together on the grass, enjoying the lush landscaping, walking dogs, exercising, eating treats from nearby businesses and otherwise building community. But now it is filed with encampments and so much trash and dumping that people cannot use the space. That the City allows this dishonors, disgraces, and defiles the legacy of Mandela Parkway and all that went into its creation. Please clean up the trash and encampments on Mandela (especially between 14th and 16th) and be good stewards of what this community and City so painstakingly built.

    How can Oakland citizens use the bus stop if one citizen is allowed to overtake it with personal belongings and trash? In front of City Hall at that. Please clean this up and help this man find more permanent housing.

    New week, new set of dumping on 16th and Mandela, per usual. Please remove the dumped furniture and trash.
