Description
Piedmont ave. was just resurfaced, it did need it like so many other streets in Oakland, but this end of Piedmont was not touched, there are several severe potholes and cracks on this part of the street. They need some serious attention, I have already had to repair my bicycle twice because of this stretch of road. Last note, the other end of Piedmont has businesses as well that could do with a new road, why do they get skimped?

I believe that the section of Piedmont Ave from W MacArthur Blvd south will be resurfaced as part of the separate Kaiser construction project which is still ongoing. This will save the city some money by not having to do that work themselves, so although it is taking longer it seems to be worth the wait.
I'm not sure what the specific timeline is on the hospital project, but some of the work that affected Broadway is just wrapping up so perhaps they will be getting to that part of Piedmont before too long as well. Bicycle lanes will be striped on Piedmont north of W MacArthur any day now as part of the city project, and I believe Kaiser will also be adding them to the segment they are responsible for as well.
