From BikeEastBay.org Hazard Reporting site. Note the proximity to a school, and the resulting injury: "There are lots of patches in this area. I ride this way frequently, however when a large delivery truck blocked most of the lane I proceeded to pass when my front wheel got caught where two concrete slabs join, one about an inch or so higher than the one I'd been on. Fortunately, no cars ran me over, but I hurt my knee and broke the mirror on my bike. I'm 64 and I've been commuting with a bicycle since 1995. This is my first accident. I always thought that it would be a pothole that would kill me. I hate to hear the City of Oakland announce that they've fixed so many potholes, as they have not made much progress. It seems that since this is in front of an elementary school and a community college, that more attention would be given to this road for bicyclists and pedestrians."

David, this is Robert from Bike East Bay. We forward these issues along and help prioritize them for attention, but how they are ultimately addressed by public works crews is often on a case by case basis. We have seen some patches handled the way you mentioned, and others where the existing surface is cut and then the asphalt finished with a vibrating plate compactor. If you have concerns about the quality of work being done the best next step would probably be to contact your councilmember's office. Ultimately these are temporary fixes to prevent further damage until a full resurfacing can be scheduled, but they should indeed last for more than a few weeks.
Ian, as for this particular report I think it was intended to be about E 10th Street, which is a concrete roadway as opposed to 2nd Ave which is asphalt. E 10th is supposed to be re-striped with bike lanes out to 9th Ave sometime this year, but with the existing rough surface this could be problematic.
