Don't worry! The city has plans to fix the entire street in 2 years!?!? Ha! Meanwhile, it's like off roading as we take our kids to school every day.

Hey LB, I appreciate your concern but please note that Chabot Rd specifically is getting a full repave next year, in 2015. This project alone is a $600k project, I've heard. I've been biking over it and suffering for years as well, but I'm glad that a solution is on the horizon.

Sorry for the sarcasm but this work has consistently been postponed over the past 3 years so I'm skeptical it will actually occur. We live off this road and have spent THOUSANDS of dollars on car repairs due to tire and vehicle damage caused by this road. Additionally, my daughter fell off her bike and was injured after hitting a pothole. I love Oakland and our neighborhood but have little faith in the system.

We really can't wait until 2015. I just biked this yesterday and went at a snail's pace trying to avoid all the potholes, but it was an impossible obstacle course, with impatient cars and trucks passing too closely. Let's at least get the worst of the potholes filled now. It would be a different story if there were an alternate route cyclists could use, but the only other options are worse in terms of safety and legality -- biking the wrong way up Miles Avenue in the face of motorists screaming down the 24 off-ramp, or dealing with the big off-ramp/on-ramp intersection of Keith and Broadway, which has plenty of potholes of its own.

I agree, JVetter and LB, and having the street scheduled for paving in 2015 (not hearsay, the funding is confirmed and the work is out to bid) does not preclude the city from fixing individual potholes earlier. I am just trying to pass along some info about a substantial fix that has been needed for many years now.

Good news, it looks like the contract that the Chabot Rd street paving is on was approved and is very likely to be completed this year in 2014! This will include the entire stretch of road from College Ave to Golden Gate Ave, and bicycle shared-lane markings will be painted once the paving is complete.

On top of that Oakland has initiated a "pothole blitz" with the intention of filling 2,500 potholes around the city, starting in East Oakland and then moving northwest throughout the next several months. I'm not sure which project will get to Chabot first, but at least there is a lot of movement in a positive direction.

Three months to go in the year with no plans for remedy in 2014. Chabot Road is getting worse with each passing day.

Appears this won't be done this year, given the change in weather. Due to the danger to cyclists, these specific potholes are being submitted to Oakland on the "TOP 10" list for immediate attention under an agreement with the Bike East Bay Hazard Elimination program.

Closed? I was on Chabot Road this morning and it's worse than ever.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request # 555952. Thank you, in advance, for your patience as we work through a backlog of pothole service requests. Unfortunately the City does not have enough funding to repave all streets in poor condition. With limited funding, our response to resurfacing requests is limited to minor pavement and pothole repairs only. Our Street Maintenance Department will assess your street and determine whether temporary measures might be appropriate. Please understand that this work may be limited to pothole or other minor repairs, and that we have many similar requests. We will do our best to respond in a timely manner. The backlog of streets in Oakland needing pavement currently is $435 million and growing.

So much for the much anticipating re paving in 2014!

LB, the contractor actually brought the pavement grinder out to Chabot Rd to begin work, but then the rain started. I am frustrated by the delays as well, but it does look like the work is very imminent.
