  Public Works has received your street repair request (#17-10-0036) and assigned it to our street repair unit. We receive hundreds of these requests per year on virtually every stretch of Alameda’s 125 miles of streets. Your electronic submission goes a long way to helping you and Public Works track the request. Alameda's streets suffer from $12-60 million in deferred maintenance, as a result of years of underinvestment. This may explain the cause of the service you have requested. Alameda’s streets are, overall, considered “fair” by a metric employed by Bay Area cities called the pavement condition index (PCI). Alameda’s PCI of 68 is higher than our neighbors in Oakland, San Leandro, and Berkeley. Yet a "fair" pavement condition index still means that, due to decades of underinvestment, many of Alameda’s streets and most of its residential streets are in poor condition, as the limited resources we have are being focused on the busiest arterials. Public Works’ response to your request will depend on the type of request. Pothole requests are typically completed within 30 days, depending on weather conditions. More complicated street repairs, including to curb and gutter, might have to wait for years when a street is due for repaving. The more complicated requests are routed to be evaluated by an engineer to help determine which streets to repave given the funding constraints. In 30 days, Public Works will email you with an update on the service request. If you don’t hear from us, please call 510-747-7930 and have your service request number available. Thank you in advance for your help (and patience) in maintaining Alameda’s streets

  This pathway has had these expansion cracks since before I started working here in 1995 and we have been requesting fund for repairs for years along with the lights.
  
  The good news is both the money for the lights and pathway repairs have been funded. The light replacement project design is almost complete and I am hearing construction will happen early spring 2018. Since the path may need to be dug up and damaged by that work we are waiting for the lighting project to be complete before repaving.

  If we have a pot hole or tripping hazard please contact me and I will get it temporary repair done. I can only speak for the property which is under the Parks Division to maintain. This starts at the Doolittle bridge and runs west and ends at the Ferry terminal.

  Thanks
