Description
For about 1/4 mile along Mountain Blvd between Thornhill and Montclair Park, there is a rutted and root-mangled dirt path where the sidewalk should be. This is a direct route for school kids and walkers, and is completely impassable for anyone in a wheelchair.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for contacting OAK 311 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.
Thank you,
