Drove through here countless times throughout the years since I've been driving! I don't know what it is, but if I'm driving in the right lane, it gets a bit frightening. Like I may potentially drive too close to the wall of the tunnel and my side mirror comes right off.. Don't fret! It's just a weird phobia driving through tunnels on the far right lane ha! Decent tube. It was clean at one point. Really dirty and grimy at another point. Overall, it's decent enough.

Not sure how you rate the tube, but it is the primary form of transportation in and out to Alameda…read more I've never had any problems. They seem to always do late night construction so that's good. It doesn't interrupt the daytime flow.

Kottinger, an Alameda County justice of the peace, who named it after his friend, Union army cavalry Major General Alfred Pleasonton." Quality/Quantity - We are fairly consistent customers to this city. Mainly to eat and drink and of course, our annual County Fair visits. See all other reviews. If you are following, with the exception of the Apple store in Pleasanton, all my other reviews in this city are 4-5 stars!! Hence the city's overall rating of 4 stars!

Atmosphere - 24.3 square miles, 0.15 of which is water. Population of 80k (2020 Census). Service - Good, as per the above, they cater to the wealthy so service has to reflect that. I aspire to be one of them one of these days, lol. Price - Above average, but NOT unreasonable.

Hmm, why are we reviewing a toll plaza?…read more I actually have never gone inside the toll plaza. I have only driven thru it. Back in the early days of Fastrak, you had to slow down to 25-mph to pass thru the gate. You still do, but it's not a big deal anymore because they have cameras too. Anyway, I got a nasty letter from Fastrak because I forgot to slow down and blew thru the Dumbarton Toll Plaza at around 50-mph. YIKES! There was no fine, just a warning. I only use this bridge during non-commute times, so I have no complaints. Slow down at the toll plaza!

Motorcyle cops close all the main streets downtown, 5 or 6 cars on standby at every freeway entrance ready to jump into action if necessary.

This is a great place to get some fresh air in downtown Oakland among the hustle and bustle…read more It's well maintained, the grass is always green and there are usually always ppl out relaxing or having a bite to eat. It's centrally located for several businesses surrounded by places to eat and drink. The downside if you'd cal it that is there are some that hangout doing nothing all day, but usually keep to one side of the plaza. I've never seen them bother anyone, but they are always there.

The county public works are horrible. It was a nightmare to get ADU planning through the planning…read moredepartment. The city inspectors bang their chest and are rude. For one inspection they decided to call last minute and cancel. Then we had this older rude inspector named Arnold Gee. He is the rudest inspector I have ever dealt with. I have been a contractor for over 25 years. He takes the title. First of all, he is always rude and barking at you. My worker asked him a question nicely and he went off on him and said you should know that. The problem is that Alameda County has higher expectations than the California code. He wanted sand under the pipe. Which is no problem. My worker just asked how much. Then he just went off and left. Then it took him 3 days to write a simple correction notice. When we called again; he saw no sand and went off and yelled this inspection is over. When I asked for clarification or to show us the code he is talking about. He said he will send it. Right after that, I went down to public works. The receptionist was nice. She could not help me much. I tried to talk to the head inspector and he was not available. This is a disaster. I have had open trenches for over a week now. Since no one in the county wants to show their code. Inspector called my office and got into it with my office manager. What a mess.

I live on the channel in Alameda looking at the old Owens Illinois glass factory. This is the Alameda Avenue in Oakland side of the channel. We have had ongoing issues with transient population in this area and recently we had a 40 foot stretch of trash left right in my site line across the channel. I called them yesterday to see if they could get a crew out to clean it up. There are seven guys with a dumpster and it's gone. We have called a couple of other times and they have been very quick to respond then as well. Thank you so much.
