The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request # 535345. 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.

Dear SeeClickFix/DPW Oakland:
The 'pin' on the map does not match the location as described by the person reporting. Please review/re-post w/correct map.
I don't care what the backlog is, get it done! We pay the highest city property taxes in CA, and the tax on fuel, also high, is supposed to be going towards these issues. I hit a pothole so large it blew out my tire and dented my rim...think that cost money to fix? Quit making excuses...
