Oakland Residents--The city's Department of Public Works has an amazing website with many interactive sites to inform you about their activities, and to encourage you to report issues and/or problems that might concern you, or about which you may have a question. It also features a site called "SEECLICKFIX" which encourages you to advise them about more local problems like graffiti, illegal dumping or potholes. It also posts information about upcoming community activities that should interest families. Addtionally, it features informational sites regarding maintenance of city parks, creeks and watersheds. Details about bicycle and pedestrian and traffic safety services are also mentioned as just a part of their wide variety of mandated duties: Check it out at:
