Description
Alvarado Road between Claremont Ave and Amito Ave is in urgent need for repaving. Several near accidents have occurred because drivers are avoiding hazardous street conditions. The steep road has severe road damage, potholes, settling of utilities undergrounding trenches, and broken up drainage gutters. The security striping in the middle of the road has faded and requires re-striping.

Besides potholes, vehicles can't use the full width of the road because of dirt slides onto pavement in some areas, erosion of asphalt on edges at other places. Combined with the curves and worn striping this is very dangerous.

The areas referenced in this request are hazardous, particularly lower Alvarado where it connects with Claremont. The road is very narrow and the edges of the road have given way in places making it a crash hazard given the choice of going off the road or veering slightly into the opposite lane. Much of Alvarado is in great need of replacing with the exception of the portion that was in Berkeley.
Come on, Oakland! Berkeley has done their part on this road. It is time for Oakland to take care of their roads in the Claremont hills.

I agree that this road is a hazard.
Do not understand why City of Oakland Public Works does know know the city boundries.
