Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Oakland Call Center, but additional information will be needed before your service request can be processed. Can you please give an accurate address or cross street of where the yellow pedestrian grip is located? This information will help us better process your request. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

While you are at, Montclair has virtually zero visible cross walks remaining. If some dies or is maimed from this, you will be held to account for this breach of duty. You have been noticed by many people, including the BID, many times. Enough is enough. What does it take with the City to get them to act?Experience says deaths and major injuries. Audit this and cure it right away! No more excuses.

This on the corner of Mountain & Medau at the corner of the Rite Aid store. This is really slippery. I'm in my mid 50's & went down. Many elderly walk there and can be severely hurt. The City needs to look into all of these yellow pads. I just dislocated a finger & bruised a knee. I can see an elderly person breaking a hip if they fall. Fix it now before you get sued because someone was severely injured.

So sorry someone got hurt on these stupid things. But the irony for Oakland is classic. I believe they were added to prevent someone from slipping on the sloping wet cement at curbs. I have slipped on one as well. I can't help but wonder if any research was done before puttin them in? Kind of like Oakland taking out parking meters for those stupid parking slip machines, only to spend millions putting the meters back because the machines were a bigger headache than meters.

Oakland can sure waste a lot of money on poor planning and research.
