The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #643267. 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.

Absolutely true. This may not be the worst section of off ramp in the city but it certainly is BAD - I try to avoid it when the rain is coming down and I can't see the holes to avoid them. Dangerous for bikes and pedestrians due to swerving vehicles dodging those potential tire and rim destroyers!
Chatham, from the 14th St. 580 off-ramp at Beaumont until the Park St. on-ramp, an artery for six AC transit lines, OFD Station 16 and the main exit for Highland Hospital was patched a few years ago. During the recent rains, the potholes re-emerged: they're now so numerous, large and deep, that the street is no longer usable without having to swerve continuously, creating a serious hazard in normal traffic. Please check it out, to see for yourselves that I'm not exaggerating.
