An East Oakland father is taking his concerns to social media. He said the city isn’t doing enough to clean up streets in his neighborhood.
Each morning, he watches kids walking past a pile of trash on their way to school, so he began recording it and sharing the videos on X, formerly Twitter."I’m hoping to bring some attention to deep East Oakland so that public works and the mayor can figure out a better solution," the father, Ansel Troy, said.It all started on Saturday, after Mayor Sheng Thao shared a back-to-school clean up happening around schools in the city, promising clean streets.
""I’ve seen students and other people having to walk in the street against traffic just to get to or from work and school," he said.Troy said he reached out to 311, but the trash remained."If children think this is what the city allows to happen in their neighborhood, then they may feel like nobody cares about us," he said.There are more than half a dozen schools within walking distance from the corner of 90th and International.
