Thanks for reporting this as additional bike racks are definitely needed here. However, Oakland does have an online form to request a bike rack so I recommend that you or someone from Arizmendi go online to make the request as well here: http://www.spaceshare.com/bikeracks/oakland.php

This location is tricky due to the news racks, tree, sidewalk seating, trash can, etc. Would a rack or two to the east of the bulb out meet your needs? Please contact me directly.--Jennifer Stanley, City of Oakland, Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities Coordinator, jstanley@oaklandnet.com
