I know that pothole like a bad relative. Actually, Oakland Public Works responds quickly to complaints of potholes in this area due to all the heavy truck traffic. I have reported 2 in this same area that were promptly patched. I included a photo both times.
The City of Oakland Public Works Agency has received this issue. It is registered as service request # 467871. 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.

Hey Joe, Thanks for your reply. You're right that Oakland is getting better about filling those potholes. I drive a truck and look out for them and note them. If I can feel them in my truck they're bad. Take care and thanks for the help too. David
