The City of Oakland Call Center has received this issue. It is registered as service request #710264. 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:

The whole road between Fruitvale and Coolidge is essentially one big pothole. I've registered this with SeeClickFix over 5 times and NOTHING has been done.
IMO, someone from his district should copy/paste this see/click/fix
issue and email it to him.

Otherwise, you'll just keep getting the same message from Public Works that there's "no funding, a big backlog, etc. etc." Your rep. is supposed to help you...ask him to do so.

Let's wait for a head-on collision.
