It's near the bookstore on south b street. Looking at this street with the eyes of a visitor, the infra really seems to be falling apart here.
I counted 8 trashy aspects:
red paint
white arrow spraypaint
blue paint on ground left side
rough cut jagged line from concrete around manhole down left
manhole has concrete on its cover
big crack emanating up-right from manhole
faded cracked paint on pedestrian white lines
warning post permanently just sitting in the middle of the road
If at least 4 of those issues are fixed without being replaced by other trashy elements, then YES
Pertains to the area of the photo in the near corner around that manhole.
In comparison, here is a totally random street corner in Osaka.

Random Tokyo street corner. Selected randomly, turns out to have been taken Aug 2022
all metal bits in road are flush, no asphalt on surface
Pedestrian lines are fading but straight
Road is slightly lumpy but not nearly as bad as San Mateo
there are asphalt cuts but they are all straight
no cracks in asphalt at all
no paint on road at all
As of Sep 23 2024:
red paint => still present
white arrow spraypaint => faded
blue paint on ground left side => faded
rough cut jagged line from concrete around manhole down left => still present
manhole has concrete on its cover => still present
big crack emanating up-right from manhole => not as bad, but the street is not fixed
faded cracked paint on pedestrian white lines => they appear to have been partially repainted but are still mega cracked.
warning post permanently just sitting in the middle of the road => not present
New trashy elements:
The crack on the lower horizontal white line is growing.
The staining around the manhole is getting worse, and the size of the gap around its edge is deepening
Resolution: not fixed
