The City of Oakland Call Center has received this issue. It is registered as service request #730884. 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.

I can attest to this sink hole as well. I almost lost my Harley last weekend as my front forks lost control as I slide along the edge of this mess.

Thank you for your response. I would like to stress that this is far more than a road being in poor shape or just a pothole - there is a DEEP hole under the concrete that WILL buckle - it is just a matter of time. And since this is literally in front of my driveway, I am very concerned that this is looked at asap. Someone will get hurt if this isn't fixed. Thank you.

This is not a pot hole, but a sink hole having to do with either a drainage issue or utility. Please do not classify as a pothole.

Also, I sent this to Annie Campbell Washington for her help.

As of today, 5/30/17, nothing has been done about this issue. This is more than a pothole and needs to be addressed before there are bigger problems.
