Bike frame has been locked to the pole for as long as I can remember.

PW Admin Gail assigned this issue to Maintenance Management

Public Works has received your street repair request (#19-05-0092) 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, and your electronic submission goes a long way to helping you and Public Works track the request.

Alameda's streets suffer from at least $25 million in deferred maintenance resulting from years of underinvestment. While Alameda has been fortunate to be able to pave more than 15 miles of street in the past three years, many of Alameda's streets, especially those that are not the busiest arterials, remain in poor condition and may explain the cause of the service you have requested.

If your request is to have a pothole filled, the request will be forwarded to Public Works Streets Supervisor Todd Williams. Public Works maintenance workers will typically fill the pothole within 30 days of the request's receipt. Please remember that filling potholes are temporary repairs.

If your request is to have a larger street repair, including to curb/gutter or a ponding issue, this process might require the street be re-paved, which can take much longer. For more information on Alameda's 5-year paving plan, please see https://alamedaca.gov/public-works/public-works-key-documents and scroll down to the 5 Year Resurfacing Plan under Other Key Documents. This is updated once every two years and is based on the condition of the pavement and coordination with various utilities.

The more complicated street repair requests are routed for evaluation by Public Works Project Manager Trung Nguyen. These requests help Trung recommend which streets to place on the 5-year Resurfacing Plan, which is driven largely by the condition of our streets and funding constraints.

Either way, you should receive an email with an update on the service request within the next 30 days. If you don't hear from us, please call 510-747-7900 and ask for either Todd or Trung.

Thank you in advance for your help (and patience) in maintaining Alameda's streets.

Your request (#19-05-0092) is now a work order, assigned to staff. Thank you for helping to keep Alameda a great City. This is an automated response. If your request is an emergency, please call 911.

Thank you for submitting this request (#19-05-0092). It has been addressed and is now closed.

I stopped by today and the bicycle frame is still there.

Christina: Did I possibly get the address wrong?

I'm assuming so because there was a bicycle frame attached to a parking sign post in front of 2514 Santa Clara this afternoon. And its the same one that has been there for awhile. Thank you for checking into this.

Thank you for removing the bike frame from the post.

woah you finally got that thing cleaned up? I was wondering how many years it would sit there. lots of blight and trash down that street. unsightly and vulgar graffiti all over stuff there like those utility boxes too. shame on the city for letting it fester for years

Bike body removed. Sincerely, Gail Carlson, Public Works

Thanks for fixing this request!

About time... it only took em like what, 2 years? 3?
