It's inevitable that this oak is going to eventually be injured and/or die. Can some of the acorns be collected and planted in pots? They can be sold, given away, auctioned, or planted in a less perilous spot near the airport and highway.
The Dosewallops rest area on highway 101N has an apple tree growing now, replacing the pioneer-era tree that was there originally. It is unidentified, but the apple we shared (from the ground!) was tasty, and we were delighted to see a young tree taking it's place.
I hope something similar can be done for this beautiful oak.
