Description
The issue originally reported more than a year ago still continues to get worse. Large chunk a of asphalt are now in the road way in front of 1450 Excelsior Ave. this section of road way has a similar issue on the opposite side of the street that was repaired/replaced in 2015. The street is bending up causing cars to bottom out or swerve to avoid hitting it creating a hazard for cyclists and motorists headed east bound. Please come out and inspect this issue.

Wow, what a mess. I've driven over this deteriorated section many times. If I forget to drive around it, it
is an extremely jarring experience and it is hard to control my car.

Thanks Call Center - can I make a recommendation that when you link a service request or issue that you link it in both items not just the newest one. thanks
and I will follow the other item to make sure it gets addressed. thanks

Excelsior *was* repaved just a few years ago.
I suspect that the new problems are sewer collapses, either privately owned sewer lateral, or EBMUD collapses.
Of course, it makes sense to repair the sewer before the street is repaved, rather than after.

The same pothole had been reported in November, 2016, and closed twice by the city, even though no work was done on it.
