Repave Thornhill Drive!

Every day I drive up Thornhill in fear of hitting someone or something while I navigate the insane amount of potholes and horrid 'attempts' at plugging 30-years of wear/tear on this main thoroughfare. For the simple fact that there are numerous schools and daycare services placed along this artery to and from the hills, it is difficult to believe the city has made the decision to neglect so long. Put the funds where they are needed...pave Thornhill Road!

Driving Thornhill Ave. is akin to navigating a mine field. All that dodging of potholes will get someone seriously injured.

From Thornhill all the way up Thorndale, the potholes keep getting bigger & bigger!

I use Thornhill to get home to Skyline and it is a mess. Eventually there will be an accident and you, the City of Oakland, will be responsible. Please repave our roads.

Thornhill Drive needs to be properly maintained. Since 2016, many residents have chimed in about the deplorable condition of Thornhill Drive and the need to repave it. Yet, little has been done despite the presence of Measure KK money since 2016. OakDOT has said it won't be repaved it until 2020 or thereafter. It needs to be repaved now. Before it gets worse, before it gets more expensive, and before we have a fire or earthquake disaster requiring evacuation which will be made worse and unsafe with a damaged roadway.

If we can have this road fixed, we will surely have a daily safe drive

Thornhill Drive desperately needs to be paved. One can’t continue to drive over potholes which ruins vehicles and also difficult for cyclists to be safe.

Please REPAVE Thornhill Dr. from Moraga Ave. to (at least) the Montclair Swim Club. The road is just terrible; I've spent more money in the last 4 years on suspension work than I have in all my years owning cars.

Tax payers in Oakland are not receiving what was promised by Oakland Council. All is forgotten once officials are in office. One hopes that Thornhill will be repaved and also Thorndale Drive. Have been waiting a long time and deterioration continues.

Please prioritize the roads in Montclair district, especially Thornhill and Thorndale for safety.

These potholes keep getting worse. And if course winter will continue to exacerbate the problem. Please fix Oakland Thornhill and other Oakland streets.

It is not only difficult to drive, but becoming actually unsafe. Fixing potholes is much cheaper than lawsuits down the road

Is the City not concerned with potential lawsuits, for instance a cyclist getting seriously hurt? The state of disrepair of this street is an embarrassment and this is total negligence on the part of the City. This would not happen in any other City in the Bay Area.

Please fix the Thornhill Drive potholes. They pose a real danger.

I have lived near Thornhill Rd. since 1985. This road is heavily used by cars, delivery trucks, cement trucks, school buses, heavy construction vehicles, and trash/recycling vehicles. In my 32 years of paying property taxes this road has never been been repaved. It is well passed time to fix this road.

As much as we pay in property tax, we should have roads we can drive on without having to mindful of potholes.

The road has to be rsurfaced - not just patched. Same applies to Sobrante Rd This is long overdue

Thornhill is in terrible shape .almost fell off my bike several times in the daytime , Aspinwall off of Thornhill is one of the worst in the city. Do not attempt riding down that on a bike at night. Hemlock Lane is so bad , Right by 39 Hemlock Lane there's a 5 feet by 4 feet large piece of the road.. it's been like that for 10 or more years ! I've contacted the city and apparently so have so many residents I've talked to ...to get this pavement issue resolved . The Governor himself use to live right by the firehouse at Skyline and Snake , He's even been on the news talking about the roads needing fixing recently BUT couldn't get results when he lived here! Too busy enjoying the perks of parties at Bohemian Grove I guess. GET THIS ...You got the owner of The Warriors living in a palace that looks like an amusement park , I mean easily one of the biggest houses in the Oakland HIlls ..not to mention all the other monstrosities they built on Elverton you know how many people could live in that place? I remember when there was five to 10 houses on Eleverton! THEN ...You got KTVU News Media people who own every house on their street manipulating the populace from their sky castles, They tore down all the trees on the hillside which is now Mazuela Drive so we could have the likes of a home for Actor Delroy Lindo... This area use to be known as a place with unique artists in the 60's - 90's... BUt now,, .. you'll see mainly see a lot of rich spoiled reptiles have moved up here . You've seen them ...they've got there BMW/ Mercedes or other DECADENT $uv's / Garish Sports Cars they start speedin on 15mph roads only when someone is in front of them on the road. , You'll see they've got people who clean their houses for them because they fancy themselves above that kind of work whilst calling themselves humanitarians but approve of having poor mamacitas clean their dirty houses scrub their toilets, etc. , These ILK theyre the kind who hire poor immigrants / landscapers

Seen a cyclist eat pavement because of the potholes, as well as the swerving cars that others have mentioned. As a pedestrian it's a nightmare during the rainy season, with cars splashing huge puddles from the potholes. Fix it! Totally ridiculous.

Thornhill Drive? Aspinwall Road is even worse - threat to public safety and property (you hit some of these potholes and you need and alignment - or worse). Oakland politicians doesn't care - Fire Dept. warned about a building, nothing, building burns down and people die, nothing. Why do we expect to get potholes fixed? We are a small voting block. Just pay your taxes and shut up - that's how the Oakland bureaucrats see us.
