This location is easily overlooked I think since it’s set back from the street and super close to the 805 freeway. It’s one of those park and ride lots that are few and far between now.
I’ve been dropping off my various donations here over the years. They take most items and give you a receipt if you ask for one. They are always super nice and helpful getting all my box’s out of the car.
While driving into the lot I noticed a plaque with a dedication name for the 805 freeway. It was dedicated in 1981 to Jake Dekema. He served California as the Director of Transportation for 25 years.
If your curious like me, here is a link to more information about Mr. Dekema.
That’s my favorite spot to drop off stuff too!
Gosh what a coincidence!
