Description
The entirety of Chabot Road to Golden Gate needs to be redone. There are so many potholes. This is the only route to Montclair for cyclists and the road is terrible. I bike it weekly with 3 children, including a baby, because it is the only route to where we need to go and I worry about flat tires as well as all the effect of the shaking from the uneven road beneath us. This road needs to be repaired.

Good news, it looks like the contract that the Chabot Rd street paving is on was approved and is very likely to be completed this year in 2014! This will include the entire stretch of road from College Ave to Golden Gate Ave, and bicycle shared-lane markings will be painted once the paving is complete.
On top of that Oakland has initiated a "pothole blitz" with the intention of filling 2,500 potholes around the city, starting in East Oakland and then moving northwest throughout the next several months. I'm not sure which project will get to Chabot first, but at least there is a lot of movement in a positive direction.
