Description
A sidewalk is needed for the loop formed by Briar Cliff Rd and Oak Hill Road for the residents of the neighborhood. So many people walk dogs around here and there isn't an easy option for seniors that walk because of all the hills in the neighborhood. Traffic is fast and reckless long these streets and many people walk down it daily endangering their lives. Perhaps a sidewalk would also deter much of the illegal dumping along Briar Cliff, helping to keep the neighborhood yards free from trash and boost property values.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Department of Public Works regarding this matter. The maintenance and repair of sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner per Section 5610 of the California State Street and Highways code and Section 12.04 of the Oakland Municipal Code. These codes require property owners to repair and maintain their sidewalks, except where sidewalk damage is caused by an official City of Oakland tree, in which case the City's current policy is to take on those repairs. If sidewalks are nonexistent, then the owners of the adjacent parcel are responsible for the installation of new sidewalks.
Thank you.
