Dear Sir:

Thank you for contacting the Public Works Agency regarding this matter. However, additional information is needed before your request can be processed. Are you reporting trash in the lake? If so, please describe the type of debris and on which side of the lake did you see the items. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The large black & yellow floating trash rack that is usually attached to the lake wall at a storm drain outfall near 21st Street (to help keep drain storm drain debris out of the lake) has broken loose and is no longer attached to the wall. It is now floating around out in the lake. I don't know exactly where it is right now but it is pretty big so it shouldn't be hard to locate.

OAK 311 has referred this issue to PWA CAPITAL - CONSTRUCTION, (DANNY LAU). Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).
