I agree that the issue needs to be taken care of, but it's interesting to note that it is one of the last little exposed areas of tracks, I believe, for the Key System line that used to run from the Bay Bridge all the way down to San Leandro on Bancroft. Before the Key trains that line was used by the Oakland Traction Company, and before that the Oakland, San Leandro, and Hayward Electric Railway. Truly a hazard of historical significance.

This area is very bad for motorcycles. The holes are BIG.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request # 529211. 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.

Thank you for fixing this issue!

Just curious - Anyone happen to know the exact location of where the Melrose Railroad Station was situated? and what the former street name for 46th Ave. in this neighborhood was?
