The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #642731. Thank you, in advance, for your patience as we work through a backlog of pothole service requests. Unfortunately the City does not have enough funding to repave all streets in poor condition. With limited funding, our response to resurfacing requests is limited to minor pavement and pothole repairs only. Our Street Maintenance Department will assess your street and determine whether temporary measures might be appropriate. Please understand that this work may be limited to pothole or other minor repairs, and that we have many similar requests. We will do our best to respond in a timely manner. The backlog of streets in Oakland needing pavement currently is $435 million and growing.
At your convenience, please review the following information regarding the City of Oakland Street/Sidewalk Maintenance Program:

Public Works: instead of copying/pasting the standard acknowledgement, please let us know when you plan on taking care of this. This street has been in need of repaving for fifteen years! It's the continuation of a freeway of-ramp yet he left lane is almost undriveable. We were nearly hit yesterday by a car swerving to avoid the many deep and rain-filled potholes. It's dangerous and should be a priority to repair/replace.
While we understand there is a lack of funding for every pothole in the city, these have become so egregious that the holes are getting bigger, cars are getting flats and struts are breaking due to this one segment of road.
