The trifecta of Thornhill, Gouldin and Aspinwall... These roads are so dangerous to all traffic, be it automobiles, pedestrians or bicycles. Even 2 mph on a bike is dangerous at times on the steep sections. These roads are worse than some third world countries! They need complete repaving.

This is a main thoroughfare in need of repairs.

I agree with Harriette Louie, Thornhill is bad, but driving on Gouldin and Aspinwall is like driving on bombed out streets

Frankly, Aspinwall is worse and actually dangerous b/c it is a steep hill. I live on Gouldin. One pothole caused a 600 plus repair on my axle and another caused me to fall and break a rib.

The potholes are ruining my car and causing back pain from the jolts to my body

I would guess that Thornhill is one of the most heavily traveled streets in Oakland to also be in the poorest state. However, I have not done a survey. I would be interested in knowing how the City of Oakland determines the priority of where to repair, as I know I have seen streets in Oakland in better condition than Thornhill, paved .(So I am guessing some one pressured the City to pave the streets of concern to those parties.)

The recent one day quick and dirty patch job washed out right away. A waste of your tax dollars and mine.

This road is tough on cars. But Guilden Lane is even worse and needs it as well.

Poor road increases likelihood of bike accidents.

Please also consider a lighted and manned crosswalk for the kids to safely walk across the street to and from school. Also, just slow down in that area on your way to work. We take our life in our hands every day just trying to go to school.

My family and I rely on this small road to take us to and from work and to pick up life's necessities. I am quite concerned about the integrity of this road, and I fear someone will soon get seriously hurt or injured if repairs are not made. Please take care of the residents who comprise a significant portion of the city's tax revenue. Respectfully, Jeff and the rest of the Moore family.

I drive in several times a day. The road is in such disrepair as to endanger drivers, bikers, and pedestrians--to say nothing of how hard ait is on cars, shocks, tires. Repaving is long past due.

Truly in very bad shape and at some point needs to be entirely re-paved. It does not see much heavy vehicle traffic, so the intended lifespan is far superior to any highway.

Thornhill Drive is a busy road and I've seen drivers swerve to avoid potholes, especially after a strong rain. Please repave, or at least fix the many potholes! Thanks.

The liability to the city of Oakland for serious injury or death to a bicyclist or pedestrian after being repeated warnings regarding the danger is potentially far greater than the cost of repaving. Also, as others have noted, the dangerous potholes extend past Woodhaven/Pinehaven.

I have lived here for over 20 years and Thornhill has to graded significantly over that time. The patchwork to fixes don't work. A full fix as needed thank you
