The City of Oakland Call Center has received this issue. It is registered as service request #709567. 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.
At your convenience, please review the following information regarding the City of Oakland Street/Sidewalk Maintenance Program:

More unbelievably patheticly bad PWD make work patch jobs. I am not sure there is a competent person working in PWD road repair dept. This is a complete reoccurring waste of tax payer dollars.
That's not true...the contractors are at fault & the weather makes the pothole worse. I'm sure COO is trying to get to everything they can. If I knew ppl were going to talk bad about OPW, I would've never posted this. I was just trying to help Oakland PW to notify them of the situation if they didn't already know about it.
I stand by my remarks I have seen numerous pot holes filled only to last a week to 10 days and during the rainy season. Now let talk about code enforcement all this contractor street work is required to have a permit. Code enforcement is required to permit, inspect and sign off on these jobs and there track record is dismal. Since Dec 5 2017 I have seen more than 300 complaints about pot holes and street damage reported by SCF users. PWD has to know about them they are so numerous its impossible to miss them.
The whole reason I posted this is to make it aware to PW. Just trying to help to notify them. Trying to be proactive. You never know it might get fixed because of using this app...
