Description

The entire street is in bad shape and has been for years, but the area in front of our driveway is the worst. Because cars have to park up on the sidewalk as its a very narrow street, people often have to walk around cars in the street. I've seen people fall in front of my house and my husband and I have also turned our ankles or tripped on the crumbled asphalt. Sooner rockstar someone is going to sue us or the city. I made a registered complaint about these 3 years ago, called the city numerous times and the same guy kept telling me he'd come out but never did. A year ago I got an email saying the request was closed, but nothing was ever done. Gravel from the disintegrating asphalt get everywhere and is what everyone is twisting their ankles on. It also gets in the house, yard and down the storm drains.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #668516. 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.
