The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #640251. 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.

Sure. You don't have enough money to repave the streets in bad condition. But how about when you do repair the streets - you do a decent job. When they did the sewer repair work on 32nd st these last weeks, the repair job they did after tearing up the street was terrible. If you can't repair all the streets that are in bad condition, at least make the repairs that you do make worthwhile. Not some slapdash work that will not last. That's why all the streets are in terrible condition.
