Berkeley

EBMUD has been doing repair work on Virginia St in Berkeley from Oxford to Sacramento. They have completely torn up the street and done a very sloppy job with repair. The result is a terrible riding surface with many potential hazards. Riders are essentially forced to use the eastbound lane for westbound travel. Not sure who is responsible here, but before this project is completed the city and EBMUD should hear from us that the repair job is not acceptable. Update 3/13/18: Submitted to EBMUD'S customer service department in the hopes of getting it to the construction crew. Alerted to the imminent danger and possible injury. Also sent notice to my regular City of Berkeley PW department administrative contact to chase down appropriate code enforcement. Update 3/14/18: BPW EBMUD liaison's rather unhelpful response: "EBMUD has not completed their work on Virginia. Once all the installations have completed the trenches will be restored and some sidewalk. As it stands today the street is in a temporary patch state and is not repaired. You can call EBMUD to report any hazards you encounter before the finished repairs." I responded pointing out the obvious that it's the temporary status that's dangerous. Also received, from EBMUD: "Thank you for the email inquiry. We are currently reviewing your email and will contact you soon." 3/15/18: EBMUD did respond to give apologies for the inconvenience, and our notice has has "been forwarded to the Pipeline Department that is working on Virginia Street."

Major pothole in bike lane southbound on Adeline in front of Ashby BART, just at first curb cut after Ashby going south. UPDATE 01-16-18: Submitted to Berkeley PW; Received service request number 381995. UPDATE 01-22-18: Report back from member that BPW appears to have fixed the hazard. (YAY! Quick work Berkeley!)

Oregon Street at Wallace there is a dip in the pavement next to a patch with a lip. The lip is 2"and invisible when approached from the west. In making a right turn my rear wheel caught and threw me Down. This needs to be marked if not repaired. UPDATE 5-11-17: Submitted to Berkeley PW; received service request number 347302.

Crack in cement on Oxford Street just wide enough to grab a road bike tire - flung me onto the pavement hard! Very dangerous, as too close to parked cars, so you have to cross over it! Update 11/8/16: Submitted to Berkeley PW. Received service request number 321716.
