Deskripsyon

I spoke with Alameda County Vector Control about Issue 609298, and they made the following recommendations:

1. The Parks Department needs to remove the ivy that is along the fence on the highway side of the children's playground. This foliage is creating a home for the rats. That's where they hang out during most of the day.

2. Cleaning: There are not enough (covered) trash/recycling receptacles. When people visit the park and litter, rats consume the food waste.

I am also asking for signage about not feeding the pigeons.

This is NOT a complaint about homeless people in the park, but rather the lack of park maintenance that is creating the conditions for the rats to thrive.

The park will be used by people no matter what and littering is a reality without signs and proper garbage disposal options, so that's what I'm asking for.
