While crews are making a significant dent in the number of repairs to be made in East Oakland, many people ABC7 spoke with said there's a lot more work to be done after the intense winter storms.

This comes after repeat atmospheric rivers drenched the Bay Area at the start of the year, leaving behind pothole, after pothole, after pothole in Oakland."From December to March 1st, we were unable to implement any significant repair to the roadway infrastructure and so that's a long period of time of when our crews were not able to fulfil basic repair needs," Fred Kelly, the Director of Oakland Department of Transportation said.
