  • 16035 Broadway Terr Oakland CA 94611, United States - Merriwood
    Large pothole that was patched shoddily and is now falling apart again. It's about 50 feet up the hill from the intersection with Gwin. Stupid app requires an exact address but there are no homes on Broadway terrace here.
  • 9098 Broadway Terr Oakland CA 94611, United States - Glen Highlands
    Large and deep pothole. The type that will destroy wheels. In center of road which often forces traffic dangerously into other lane around curve. There is also a second hole by the storm drain. Together they make the downhill lane nearly impassable .

  • Moraga Ave & Estates Dr Oakland, CA, 94611, USA - Oakland

    There are a few problems here:
    - Offramp from 13S has no visibility to pedestrians who are trying to cross the offramp until it's too late, making this a frightening street to cross
    - Drivers from Northbound Moraga often are making U-Turns onto the 13S ramp. Technically, these U-Turners have the right of way vs. someone turning right off of Estates, but nobody seems to know what to do. The only way to know whose turn it is, is to make eye contact with the other driver and issue some hand signals before someone feels comfortable to go.
    - In the meantime, southbound traffic from Moraga is coming up over the hill and there's no visibility to who's coming. So after you're done hand-signaling with the U-turners and you're ready to make a go of it, you kind of have to pray no one is coming up over Moraga. (This is the accident I witnessed today -- a U-turner was t-boned by someone coming up from Moraga.)
    - People who are trying to turn left onto Estates often pass each other because they think the person in front of them isn't turning left, but rather waiting to make a U-Turn. So you'll be waiting to turn left, and just as you're making the turn another car will pull around you and make the same left turn, nearly colliding into you.

    A couple years ago after lots of complaints to the traffic department, the solution was to put in a bunch of neon cones on Moraga (not pictured) to help with visibility for pedestrians. Well, not sure if these actually help the pedestrians (I certainly don't feel safer when I try to cross Moraga) but what they do instead is block visibility of the traffic coming up over the hill on Moraga, so there's even less visibility now.

    My neighbors and I have been asking for help for years, with no response. In fact, one of my neighbors was told by a city worker that until someone dies in an accident here, something like this won't be prioritized.

    So who is going to die? Me? My kids? Someone else's kids?

  • E 22nd St Oakland, CA, 94606, USA - Ivy Hill
    The area adjacent to Park Blvd Plaza needs a crosswalk, physical traffic calming, and a 20 mph speed zone. The redesign left a long stretch between crosswalks at Newton and Van Dyke, where vehicles tend to pick up a lot of speed in both directions. Speeds on Park Blvd are still too fast, even after the road diet. This is a park for the area with a lot of pedestrians, a bus stop, and a wide span, and should be a priority for traffic calming. There should be at a minimum a high visibility crosswalk at E 22nd and mid-street signs directing vehicles to stop for people in crosswalks
  • 6970 Broadway Terr Oakland CA 94611, United States - Glen Highlands
    Large and deep pothole that cars swerve into oncoming traffic around blind curve to avoid.
  • 4401 39th Ave Oakland, CA, 94619, USA - Redwood Heights
    There is a new pickup and drop off procedure at Redwood Heights Elementary School and due to COVID safety parents are driving to deliver their kids. The problem is that people are parking in the drop off lane as well as making U turns on 39th Ave which is dangerous. The drop off lane's paint has deteriorated and hard to see and there aren't any official signs to tell drivers that they cannot park int he drop off lane. One of the street sign poles is so loose that it is leaning out into the lane and can be spun by hand so that the signs posted on it do not face the oncoming traffic. We need to have the drop off lane repainted, no parking or drop off lane signs posted as well as No U Turn signs posted.
