The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #641227. 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.

It has been months since this was reported and the pot hole is dangerously large now. It is guaranteed to cause an accident and damage to cars in the near future. Please, please fix this. I drive past it every day and it is so large that cars are starting to swerve to avoid it and those that hit it hard lose control temporarily.
One of my tires exploded in this pothole 2 days ago. I was driving under the speed limit, but it was dark I didn’t see it. There was a 4 inch tear in the tire and it couldn’t be repaired. I had to change 2 tires in addition to paying for a tow truck. Please repair.
