I hate to have to complain on Social Media but I cannot get a response from Cal Trans.
We have a retaining wall at the back of our house with a Cal Trans stamp on it. The wall is failing and big cracks are appearing, the wall is also leaning towards our house. I'm certain Cal Trans would not like the liability of having it fail and damage our house or injure anyone.
We had a technician look at it over a year ago and agree it needed replacing but nothing more heard...
Not really good enough, where do I go from here?
location is Mill Valley
What is going on with the amount of trash on 880 in San Jose? There is so much trash that it is a hazard to exit The Alameda traveling N. bound. I have submitted another request on your website but you have not responded to the last one yet! Please do something! I almost hit a mattress! California is such an embarrassment.
What are your plans to clean up the rat infested dump site at University and Frontage, the stench is terrible.
???
I implore you to PLEASE cease the major tree trimming efforts during this nesting season for our local wildlife. I am referring to the work on Westborough Blvd in SSF in this case. We had no rain at all in the early months when this is supposed to be done and now that the birds and small mammals are nesting this action leads to hundreds of deaths to these creatures. I volunteer at my local wildlife rescue group so PLEASE - if you do continue at least contact your local animal center if you find nestlings.....it is the responsible thing to do.
Thank you
PLEASE FIX THE POTHOLES ON HWY 680, BOTH NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND, BETWEEN DANVILLE AND DUBLIN! SO DANGEROUS!!!
I am homeless and a homeless advocate in Castro Valley. I just received a call from another displaced resident of the Grove Way/580 abated camp. She along with 3 others moved to a established camp which has been occupied by one other person for a few years now. So they have a total of 5 people in this camp which, is in Eastern C.V,
is tucked away and not seen by residents. She stated that ACSO have been there 3 days in a row now and the last visit was yesterday at 3:30pm in which they told her that they had to leave by tomorrow or they would be arrested. It was also mentioned that it was a CalTrans action/eviction. My question to you is...if it is an action taken by you then the protocol is the same as any other eviction. A 72HR notice needs to be tagged at the site giving the residents enough time to gather there belongings, etc. The only notice was verbal done by ACSO deputies and they were given no time tomorrow, even if they did, it is well under the 72 Hr. window. Please advise if this is action is being done on behalf of CalTrans and if so, where is the 72Hr Notice? Thank you for your time and assistance
How many accidents need to happen on Lakeville hwy for CalTrans to take ANY action? ANYTHING? Rumble strips were a waste of money since people who drive recklessly on there don’t care about them. How about some delineators so they CANT pass at those high risk areas? In the last 2 years, 2 people have come though our fence. This resulted in 2 human fatalities, the painful death of an accomplished show horse in retirement,hours of our time and money fixing and cleaning up so our horses can go back, endangered the rest of our horses with an open fence onto the hwy while emergency personal were on scene. This is just OUR property not the others who are in higher risk areas.
Yesterday’s accident is on you for turning a blind eye to probably the most dangerous road in your district. 🤬🤬
Thank you to Lakeville Volunteer Fire for always handling the accidents quickly. They are awesome!
😤🤬👎Caltrans District 4: I think I can safely say that the Ryer Island Ferry on hwy 84 has been closed pretty much all year, I am not the only one here that is angry with these seemingly perpetual endless ferry closures, And no I am not the only one, everyone is angry about this, this has gone on for far to long, we are coming into december and this ferry has been open maybe 2 months this year with what looks like endless closures every couple of days in between, You need to hold a meeting either in Rio Vista or Walnut Grove for the people who live and commute on and around Ryer Island, this nonsense has gone on far enough and nobody from your district office has had the courtesy to hmm, I don't know, send some flyers out letting the rest of the world outside your office know what is going on!? give people a timeline of when your going to open back up (doubtful) but, it would be nice for SOMEONE in Caltrans to step up and be accountable to the taxpayers that are paying you to do your jobs, you are costing people a hefty amount of money in gas and in case you havent noticed.....gas is almost 4 dollars a gallon! There are low income folks out here that are struggling right now to get where they need to go waiting on you guys to open the Real McCoy II back up, Geez. And what happens in an emergency should an ambulance need to get out here and (whoops) no ferries are open, gotta wait over 45 minutes for an ambulance and that's assuming nobody is dying. It's time we all had answers, it's time to either fix this ferry, replace it with something reliable or find another solution that is more cost effective and would work better for all involved. I suggest a lift bridge similar to the others in the delta area, that would be perfect, of course I know there is talk about the pesky "what it would do to the estuary" but, with as much pollution that the ferry is putting out, diesel being what is used to fuel the ferry, I think a bridge would be the lesser of two evils, yes the wildlife is an issue for some folks but if you really think about, there are so many chemicals in the water already, that the water has been unhealthy for years due to other environmental factors anyway, and with the ferry gone, there would be less pollution in the water since there would be no more diesel pouring into the air and water, so it would technically be a benefit for the environment. No I don't agree with polluting the environment in anyway, don't misunderstand me, but there needs to be a permanent solution that is healthier for the environment, but also reliable for those that have to get into town. In closing please know anger is past the tipping point in and around the island, and to be honest were tired of all the closures on the ferries and bridges, yes we know they need repairs but, your timing on that front was less than stellar. Accountability folks accountability, and common sense. Please keep your taxpayers informed. Thank you. #FixItOrNixIt
down tree on northbound skyline before westridge. danger to motorists.
Can you guys fix your website so people who work for a living can plan accordingly? Your website says the Real McCoy is in service
Did you know your highly reliable(sarcasm) Real Mccoy Ferry is out of service again? I specially checked your website to see if it was running before I came over the bridge to avoid this exact situation. Your website says it is in service. Are you going to reimburse my bridge toll and gas because you can't keep the ferry running that you promised would run every 20 minutes?
