  Public Works has received your street repair request (#17-06-0150) 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. Your electronic submission goes a long way to helping you and Public Works track the request. Alameda's streets suffer from $12-60 million in deferred maintenance, as a result of years of underinvestment. This may explain the cause of the service you have requested. Alameda’s streets are, overall, considered “fair” by a metric employed by Bay Area cities called the pavement condition index (PCI). Alameda’s PCI of 68 is higher than our neighbors in Oakland, San Leandro, and Berkeley. Yet a "fair" pavement condition index still means that, due to decades of underinvestment, many of Alameda’s streets and most of its residential streets are in poor condition, as the limited resources we have are being focused on the busiest arterials. Public Works’ response to your request will depend on the type of request. Pothole requests are typically completed within 30 days, depending on weather conditions. More complicated street repairs, including to curb and gutter, might have to wait for years when a street is due for repaving. The more complicated requests are routed to be evaluated by an engineer to help determine which streets to repave given the funding constraints. In 30 days, Public Works will email you with an update on the service request. If you don’t hear from us, please call 510-747-7930 and have your service request number available. Thank you in advance for your help (and patience) in maintaining Alameda’s streets

  This intersection is long overdue to have a traffic signal. It is large and people crossing the street on foot, or on bikes, can not feel safe most of the time.
  I believe the double left turn lane from McCartney onto Island Drive towards the bridge is actually a really good idea at rush hour and I think adding more stripes all the way across the intersection with reflective paint would go a long way to educate people as to the new and improved left-turn Lane.

  There is currently a sign that indicates the proper lane configurations/movements at the approach. Ground out striping is a common occurrence in urban (as opposed to rural) environments. There is no indication that left turns are legal from the middle lane and motorists are making conscious decisions that are in violation of the vehicle code. We are reassigning this case to APD for enforcement.
