The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #668294. 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.

The street is literally dissolving at this point. Currently, there are at least 20 potholes on the street now bigger than 1 sf each, plus many many smaller ones (which will be big by 2017) and developing cracks. In 2014, Victor Silverman and I filled about 10 potholes by hand. But the problem persisted in new locations. Then last year, upon asking the city to repair the street, the city sent a "quick fix" team who essentially cut an 18" swath down a portion of the street to address all they could in 2 hours of work, leaving 50% of the holes evident at the time untouched and not addressing the true problem-the street was NEVER sealed properly. The street needs to be pulled up and repaved. Half measures will not be sufficient.
