Description

I'm gonna need everyone's help on this one. I'm a good friend of this elderly lady (born Jan1934) and hate to see her having to sweep the water from these potholes in front of her home. I've posted it several times on SeeClickFix and their reply was that they are aware of it and it's on their list...heck we are going on 5-yrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's practically driven this elderly woman nuts. Every time I see her sweeping it, she's livid and frustrated that the "system" has failed her. So, what do I do? I go to Home Depot and get 2 bags of asphalt and filled the darn holes as best as I could. Unfortunately, the weather keeps working against us. How do we get the City of Oakland to act on repaving the ENTIRE street. They owe it to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joyce, has lived in this neighborhood for approximately 17-yrs. A retired educator (40+yrs), she gets up early and spends her morning sweeping the sidewalk and/or picking up leaves. She's all about cleaniness, but angry that as she would put it "they ain't doing #$%#! At 90, she should be relaxing not picking up after someone else's neglect for cleanliness. I need your support to get the City of Oakland to REPAVE MONTCLAIR AVENUE for Joyce! I also don't mind any suggestions you may have. PS: Aside from being a realtor, I also rideshare. And boy if you only knew the number of potholes in the City of Oakland you'd have a fit. Last year (about this time), I had 2 of my tires damaged due to a pothole just off HighSt by that busy &*^* gas station along the freeway. At times, I have to step back and think...could this just be another way of preventing crime in the neighborhoods? LOL. Who the heck wants to drive along potholes when making their escape? LOL. Try driving along 23rd St btw Telegraph and Northgate. I try to avoid going onto 23rd when ridesharing and humbly alert the rider to do their part and complain about the potholes on their street. Potholes are not very welcoming and costly on our tires. As a taxpayer, Joyce shouldn't be having to be maintaining our streets. 5-yrs!!!!!!!!! Now come on! Montclair Ave is only but 4-5blocks, I vote it gets repaved and renamed Ellis-McGee (after her late husband Emmanuel who pass away at the age of 101 a few years back.
