Lets look at it from common law perspective. ODOT is a company and as such a legal fiction. The company cannot 'own' anything because it exists only on paper. Maybe CEO may claim ownership, but I doubt he/she will have a purchase record to prove it. The land in question is a public land fraudulently claimed by ODOT.

This is what happens when local people take action.  ODOT doesn't clean the area of trash - the neighborhood does.  Then ODOT complains the rose bushes are a distraction - apparently the trash and tents were not.  Now ODOT claims the signs and ribbons are a safety issue - yet they weren't concerned about the used needles and trash.  Liberal logic!
