The City of Oakland Call Center has received this issue. It is registered as service request #700338. Please check back for status updates, or contact us directly at 510-615-5566.
I would also note that this sign isn't particularly effective in preventing people from crossing here based on my observations so I'm not sure of it's purpose.
This is by design. This crosswalk has moved from 49th to 48th and an additional crosswalk was added to the one that already existed at the light at the entrance to the wallgreen's/post office parking lot. Additionally the bus stop was moved to the south side of 49th st.
Why did OakDot remove this crosswalk in a high traffic, pedestrian oriented, retail area?
Also I believe this is now considered an unmarked crosswalk under the CVC so pedestrians still have the legal right of way. But but good luck getting drivers to yield to you (as required by law) now that it's unmarked. It would be nice if every legal crossing was striped like Piedmont ave is.
Anyway please consider this a request to restripe this crosswalk.
