  Very seriously in need of repair, NOW! A car coming down in the dark could so easily hit that, and suffer major damage, I shudder to think of it . And similarly a car coming down swerving to avoid it could easily go into the uphill lane and again, I shudder to think what might ensue. Please, FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY!

  YES please fix immediately we almost had a head on mishap going around that as we went around cautiously this afternoon, in the daylight. I can not imagine going around this curve with this hazard in the night !

  I'm not sure if the city attorney has gotten an invoice on this, yet, but based on some muddy tire tracks, it appears that some thoughtful neighbor tried to nudge the damaged guardrail off the roadway. This seems to have happened since the initial damage.

  While it makes the passage through this tight S-turn a little bit safer, it could use a touch more ooomph. Ideally, it would be nice if someone with a city car could show up to finish nudging the remainder of the guardrail off the traffic lane. Probably all it would take is a staff car with a low bumper to push on it a bit. Three posts are out of the ground, so it should be fairly flexible. One wouldn’t even need to get out of the car if they didn’t want to.

  I’d do it, but I’ve got a pick-up that’s too tall for the job. It’d just tear up a tire and screw up my rim.

  —Please advise.

  Yes, there looks like there was an attempt to fix this but then it somehow gets right there back in the road and just yesterday my husband hit it only because there was a car coming up hill and no room to swerve away from it! This is going to really mess up a bunch of cars tires and rims at the very least. Please fix the right way ASAP!!!!

  CALL 311--- Probably the best way to solve this is to call 311 or 510-615-5566.

  Against my inherent nature, I spoke calmly and succinctly with the call center asking when the repair was scheduled and simply explained that the guardrail was in the road and had been reported hit on SCF. Please call to help escalate this issue. Hopefully this will be repaired and out of the road by end of day.

  CALL NOW - Leave a message referencing service #905348

  Urgent infrastructure issues include:

  Flooding
  Land/mudslides
  Downed road sign
  Traffic signal outage
  Sewer overflow
  Fallen trees/branches
  Hazardous road conditions
  Objects blocking the roadway

  ...and it appears it has been hit again. This time the vehicle climbed on top or the dangling wooden post.

  How an entire month has gone by and this is not fixed is beyond me. Major failure by City of Oakland yet again.
