I don't understand the previous comment No! What is that supposed to mean? The road surface has not been repaired and needs to be fixed, like i stated when i created the report.

Mr Anonymous User, would you care to be a little more expansive. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?

Grizzly Peak Road (Blvd) on both sides of the Claremont/Fish Ranch intersection is so bad that its not safe in either direction. Last October a cyclist **DIED** due to the cracks on the downhill section travelling North to South!

After the death, the city apparently made a geture by to fill the cracks on this one section -only on the north-to-south (northern) section. They didnt both to do the uphill lane. Since then the tar that was poured into the cracks or fissures has settled, and new cracks have appeared.

On the south side of the Claremont intersection on the downhill section (heading north), the road is even worse than the other side!!

Whats going on? Is anyone working at all in the City of Oakland ?

Hi Tom,

I completely agree - Perhaps we were talking about different sections of the same road. I was refering to the area close to Claremont. The road on either side has deteriorated past the point of being patchable. There are more and more cracks appearing with every rainstorm.

This is total negligence on the part of The Ciry of Oakland public works dept.
I found this link to their web page:

Has anyone opened up a repair request with them ? I'm not sure "SeeClickFix" is going to be enough to get them to do anything. Who is the councilmember for that section of Oakland (and yes, its in Oakland - just barely).

Maybe we can get the TV news people to cover it. Then we'd see it fixed before the Grizzly Peak Century (May 6). This piece of road is not only embarassing to us local bicyclists. It's a matter of public safety.

PS I dont work for anyone ! I'm just a another cyclist who votes. I would gladly lead a campaign against the incumant councilmember if they dont respond.

I have personally submitted a NEW request to the Oakland public works dept.
This is the Service Requst number as displayed on their website after my submission-:

We appreciate your request and thank you for being our "eyes and ears" on the City of Oakland.

Well, i showed the section to OPW, they met me upon GPB, drove the section and said it'd be fixed if it stopped raining. It hasnt rained in a week

No it still hasn't been fixed, is getting worse. They are waiting til the entire GPB is paved I guess and now the up hill sections, the shoulders are so cluttered w/ debris that one has to veer into the middle of the road to avoid the rocks, mudslides, etc.! OPW doesn't give a shiet about the safety of cyclists, IMHO

This needs to stay open until they repave the whole thing. Theres no excuse. They have the Measure B funds to fix it but wont fix it until more cyclists die or worse (for them) end up paraplegic for life. Thanks Oakland.

They patched the holes ! finally. It ain't no baby bottom and it still needs to be resurfaced but we have to give them some credit. They did the all of GPB in Oakland, in both directions, and yes it was a contractor and not the city
