These streets have been resurfaced within the last five years. Cutting trenches in streets leads to early deterioration. To help preserve newly resurfaced streets, Oakland requires any entity that cuts into streets that are on the Five-Year Moratorium to restore the streets per City standards and requirements.

In September 2011, the Oakland Bicycle and Pedestrian Program launched an annual program to count the number pedestrians and bicyclists at judiciously chosen locations. The purpose is to create consistent data long term on citywide bicycle usage, and provide other useful data on pedestrian volumes. Counts are collected at 36 intersections.
