Description
This monster pothole on skyline has been there for months and just keeps getting bigger and it's right in the northbound path of many cyclists who frequent this route.

I heard Skyline will be paved in 2015. Here is the info I have:From the Oakland Bike/Ped newsletter, some updates on paving Oakland’s worst streets:
Paving the worst biking street
Since July, the City paved two streets heavily traveled by bicyclists that were well known for their poor pavement: Grizzly Peak Blvd (Centennial Dr to Skyline Blvd) and Shattuck Ave (59th St to the Berkeley border, near Woolsey St). Grizzly Peak Blvd from Centennial Dr to Marlborough Terr was overlayed with new asphalt. Between Marlborough Terr and Skyline Blvd, a surface treatment was applied (at significantly lower cost) to extend the life of the existing asphalt. Next up in 2014 is Broadway (38th St to Broadway Ter). In 2015 look for new pavement on Chabot Rd (College Ave to Golden Gate Ave) and Skyline Blvd (Snake Rd to Pinehurst Rd). These projects are designed, funded, and pending implementation. The Bicycle Facilities Program is seeking funds to fix Shafter Ave (Cavour St to Forest St), the next priority on the list of bikeways with the worst pavement.

Thanks Sallin, I was familiar with all the other projects you mentioned but not the Skyline paving. I followed up with city staff and got the following confirmation:
"Yes, we are very pleased to be paving Skyline Blvd between Snake Rd and Pinehurst Rd (at Shepherd Canyon Rd). The contract is out to bid now and the paving is likely to happen in 2015. It might happen in late 2014, but I wouldn’t expect it. It’s on the same contract with Chabot Rd – another much-needed project."
