Description
I had damaged my tire on a pothole around 58th and Shattuck at the end of March. I had only gotten no more than a year ago, but the pothole had pierced the sidewall and I had to replace it entirely. I had initially reported it to City of Berkeley, but they referred me to continue through City of Oakland instead. The pothole was shortly repaired, but I wanted to be reimbursed for the damages to my tire.
