  For the epidemic needles/ used syringes contact OFD/Office of Emergency Services 444-3322. The City's very costly to the tax payers sub contractor Advanced Crime Scene Clean up has never come to any of my requests to clean up human waste. For the rats Alameda co vector control 567-6800 All these illegal encampments are a serious public health and safety nightmare.

  Mosswood Park currently known as “Needle Park”. Don’t let your children play barefoot in this park.

  You can also thank Alameda co Health services and these self medicating street zomb!es advocates for handing out tens of thousands of syringes at the taxpayers expense with no means to ever retrieve them. Putting the public, our pets and wildlife at risk of infection. The hazardous pathogens can live for weeks in these used syringes.

  I've lived in Oakland my entire life and have never seen homelessness and mental illness to this extreme, what are you doing as a human being to help your fellow man besides complain?

  I do not live by Mosswood but see whats going on there and at Harrison every time I go to kaiser. I know most of the unhoused in my neighborhood by name. We call 211 we have brought in Operation Dignity. In the twenty three years I have lived in this neighborhood I have only seen two that wanted help the rest do not want any help period. Its hard watching them over drink and over medicate. We track there dealers as well and report when safe to OPD. We watch the countless trips to the ER at cost to the taxpayer of $2200.00 dollars a trip. Some these people average 15 trips a month. I one thing I do not do is give them anything.

  David, you are correct. The street freedom most of these bums choose to live within will not trade for a residence with rules.

  I for one have given lots of can foods and water at the intersections. I will never give them money however. I’ve given dog food and biscuits, toiletries and much more. And you?

  Key word RULES. I have been a Keep Oakland Clean and Beautiful litter removal volunteer for several years. I have seen everything. At one point OFD gave a large sharps container because of the number of used syringes I was picking up. I do give anything is because of how much I have had to throw away. I have found enough food and fruit with syringes stuck in them that do not trust anything. The canned food I donate. I have found bags cloths if they clean I take them back to local charities along with all the other stuff that's still donatable. The waste is nothing short of incredible.

  I'm an employee of the hospital so I see the devastation of the park everyday, I don't give money but I do help clean and pick up trash.

  In all due respect, as residents who strive to be conscientious and cooperative citizens of this community, it is NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY to feed and clean up after junkies and vagabonds that have invaded our park. This duty falls *squarely* with the Oakland/Alameda county civic authorities, and they are failing.

  How am I helping, you ask? I'm helping by duly reporting when I see these problems. And on the macro scale, I'm helping by being considerate to my neighbors in any capacity I can and by NOT USING MOSSWOOD PARK AS A TOILET AND DUMPING GROUND.

  The city should be forced to make a choice: clean up the encampment OR put in restrooms and sharps containers. This park has gone from being a place for children and families to play to a massive dumping ground. It’s disgraceful.
