Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. I understand your frustration, as repeated incidents of public urination and individuals stopping or remaining in the area are unpleasant and not reflective of the community standards the City of Lathrop expects.
While the Mossdale on- and off-ramps are located within the City of Lathrop, those areas are under the jurisdiction of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Caltrans. Enforcement of violations such as public urination, vehicles stopping on freeway ramps, and individuals remaining along the ramps falls under CHP’s authority. Infrastructure changes, including fencing or physical modifications to restrict access, are the responsibility of Caltrans.
To address these issues effectively, I strongly encourage you to contact CHP at the time the behavior is occurring by using their non-emergency line. Real-time reporting allows CHP to respond appropriately and conduct targeted enforcement in the area. Ongoing concerns related to ramp design, access, or fencing should be directed to Caltrans.
Reporting these issues as they occur to the appropriate agency is the most effective way to address enforcement and long-term concerns in that area.
Please reach out if you have any further questions.
