There is no sidewalk on the south / west half block of Oak Street, between 3rd and 2nd Streets. It's a pain to walk this section of the block as it's just gravel and uneven earth. I realize the property adjacent to the missing sidewalk is rather blighted, but still, there ought to be a sidewalk there, yes?

Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Public Works Agency regarding this matter. The maintenance and repair of sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner per Section 5610 of the California State Street and Highways code and Section 12.04 of the Oakland Municipal Code. These codes require property owners to repair and maintain their sidewalks, except where sidewalk damage is caused by an official City of Oakland tree, in which case the City's current policy is to take on those repairs. If sidewalks are nonexistent, then the owners of the adjacent parcel are responsible for the installation of new sidewalks.

I believe that this patch of missing sidewalk has been reported a number of times on this website.
Here is a link to a City of Oakland leaflet about sidewalks www.panil.org/pdf/CityofOaklandSidewalkPamphlet.pdf
It states:
"the City (of Oakland) enforces private repair of sidewalk when sidewalk damage becomes an issue of safety."
The situation is a safety issue: pedestrians are either required to walk in the road or risk injury by walking across the rough uneven ground.
Please can you let us know what action the City is taking to have sidewalk installed along this stretch?

I had the same issue as concerned father and could not walk with a stroller on the sidewalk between 2nd and 3rd in Oak st. If I couldn't avoid using this route, I had to go around this obstacle by pushing my baby stroller on the street, avoiding oncoming traffic.
This is a dangerous situation not only for parents with children, but also for anyone with mobility issues/disabilities.
City of Oakland - we are taxpayers who need your help in providing the owner(s) of this property with consequences for not abiding by state and city laws. We need to know when and how you will support us with this issue.
