  I agree! I reported the block of Forest street between Miles and Shafter over 1 year ago. So dangerous for bicyclists who use this street all day. It also has high vehicle traffic from BART parking lot.

  The city has published their map of all the repaving planned for five years. http://oakbec.s3.amazonaws.com/MapLanding/maps/pavingdashboard.html Almost nothing in Rockridge is on it, and certainly not Forest. Aren't you glad you voted for measure KK?

  I see College, 51st, and Shafter on the upcoming list, and upper Broadway and Broadway Terrace have already been resurfaced. Much of Claremont, Golden Gate, Pleasant Valley, Colby, and Chabot were also resurfaced within the past few years. There are additional streets getting resurfaced that aren’t on the 5-year plan, like Clarewood, and some spot paving and concrete work happening in association with new developments and utility projects.

  There’s plenty more repair needed, for sure, but let’s not pretend that Rockridge isn’t getting their fair share of attention, and then some.

  If there are streets not on the five year paving plan (which goes through 2019, after which a new five year plan will be assembled) then I recommend that people contact their city council member or staff about it. Every council member gets to program a certain amount of paving funds each year for streets not on the 5-year plan, based on what they’re hearing from constituents.

  I expect I'm not using the map properly. Sorry. I hope you'll forgive me, I live on a street with huge potholes that haven't been touched d for years and are not scheduled to be done. Bit of a sore spot.
  It does appear to me that Forest is listed as medium condition in the street condition view, so not too bad.

  For sure, there is plenty of reason to be frustrated. I’ve been reporting Forest to both Oakland and to Caltrans (they’re responsible for the part under the freeway) for at least 5 years, and have gotten several dozen potholes filled within that period.

  I see funding from Measures KK, BB, and SB1 as our means for finally dealing with these issues, but we still have to be patient as bringing the overall pavement quality back up to a manageable level is a slow and steady process (let’s not stop petitioning for streets like Forest to get fully repaired though).

  Forest has many places where the top layer of pavement is crumbling and spot repairs will not solve the problem. The eastbound section under highway 24 is very bad and is made worse by the AC Transit 51B busses that use this block to turn around. When I ride my bike on this street I feel that I am navigating an obstacle course due to all the potholes.

  Forest between Claremont and College has been bad for a number of years and is getting worse, as others in this thread have noted.

  This pothole continues to grow. The asphalt is coming loose in large chunks. Many parts of this street have already been patched.
