The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #611547. 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! We've heard all these excuses before. Everytime a problem/need is reported, the city responds saying they don't have any money. If that were true there wouldn't be any city budget. There is, and it needs to cover repair of potholes. No more excuses. We seem to have money to pay for lawsuits that find the city guilty of not repairing the streets when there are injuries. Why not spend the money to prevent injury and lawsuits?

And why not use material that will last, not for just a few months so we have to report them again and again. And we have funds to put up ridiculous, huge signage showing what area of Oakland you are driving through. Laurel District, Fruitvale, etc. Who really cares when we have to keep our eyes on the street so we don't destroy our cars as we drive through these neighborhoods???? Do it right the first time!!!! And not just up the center of the street so we have to drive down the center line to avoid the still obvious and growing potholes on the edge of the newly, poorly repaired street. And pass this along to PG&E or whoever is working on our streets since there servicing is a real joke. The patches don't even last a month!
