Description
Homeless encampments between 85th Avenue and 81st Avenue on San Leandro street . My children have been harassed and are now afraid to use the public sidewalks to get to the BART and back home to and from school. Please address the homeless issue in that area. It is unsafe and I don’t want either of my daughters harmed while using that thoroughfare.
Yesterday a ball came flying in front of my car from that encampment for the second time. The people have no regard for safety. They hop the rail to jaywalk across that busy street as well. ... and their visitors stop in the middle of the roadway to engage in conversation with no regard for incoming traffic.
A prompt response is appreciated.

There are still people camping out there.
I drove by this morning about 7:05 and saw a man sticking a needle in his ankle or foot. Sad, but that further let’s me know that my children still can’t use that thoroughfare because other vicarious things are associated with homeless encampments, drug use, etc.

This is a dangerous stretch of San Leandro St. I moved away from the area last year partly due to the fact I could not get to my house without being harassed or intimidated. These homeless houses have been torn down several times and recently a huge fire burned half of them down. The homeless people are still living inside the burned shacks.
I have also had traffic problems there. cars stop to talk to the homeless in the street and block the whole intersection with no regard for anyone else. There is constantly trash we have to drive around. People already cut through red lights at that intersection, this just makes it worse.

Joe is absolutely right.
Please address the issue as soon as possible.
It’s a shame this was reported August 2019 and still no resolve.
