Description
This huge pothole is completely dark at night because of an overgrown oak covering the street light. It threw me over my handlebars last night and I was almost hit by the car behind me... the City is begging for a lawsuit with all of the huge potholes along Park. Better find a more permanent solution than the filler that just erodes out after a couple of days.

Park Blvd is just dangerous in general. If it's not the potholes, it's the reckless drivers. I live on Park, and drive and walk it daily. There are times that I am truly scared to use that street and have been in an accident just pulling out of my own driveway.
The pothole fills are only band aids for the major bleeders on this road. It's caused enough damage to my car, let alone what it'll do to cyclists. Some will swallow a wheel whole. It needs serious attention before someone is drastically injured or killed. The current rains are only making it worse and these problems should been addressed ages ago. end rant >

Thanks for your comments eastbaybirdenerd. Nearly all of Park Blvd is now on the city's 5 year paving plan (http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/pwa/documents/agenda/oak044963.pdf) which will likely occur sooner rather than later due to the amount of traffic, speeds, and current conditions of the street. There is also an ongoing effort that you may be aware of to reconfigure and restriped Park to help reduce speeds and make the street safer for pedestrians and people on bikes. You can read some more about this and find out how to get involved at www.BikeEastBay.org/ParkBlvd.
The potholes still need to be taken care of in the near term to at least prevent some crashes before the whole street can be fixed.
