Oakland 311 not very effective
While most of my service requests are immediately “acknowledged”, weeks or months can pass without action. There are so many service requests for illegal dump at Joaquin Miller Park, that the app doesn’t allow you to report a new incident in the same area. It “thinks” you are duplicating a previous report - even those from years ago. And then when the City does respond and remove the trash and solid waste that was dumped (Thank You), the app does not let you close-out the service request. This leads to the aforementioned problem.
