There was a "Keep Clear" notice painted on the road at this intersection before it was repaved. It would be great to have that notice restored.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to PWA CAPITAL - CONSTRUCTION, (DANNY LAU). Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).

Thank you.

As a neighbor who turns here as many as 5 times a day, I'd REALLY appreciate it clearly marked. Lots of theft at the Nomad Cafe may be occurring because the get away cars can just park in the intersection then speed away when the stolen laptops and goods are swiped. It might slow this trend down.

Please also add a painted crosswalk on the north side of the intersection, crossing shattuck. Right now these is only one on the south side of the intersection. This is a major pedestrian route to Ashby Bart with lots of Ped crossings from all directions. Right now people j walk or are forced to go out of there for a safe crossing. Not good when we are trying to encourage more walking and transit use, not less. Thanks in advance!

I absolutely agree with Chaka--it's so annoying to cross three times instead of once, and it encourages jaywalking, which is really unsafe with that level of traffic.

I also think that is a great idea! I wonder if you should start a new seeclickfix for that item? I will certainly vote for it.

How does somebody get action on this? What needs to happen?

Good news! Danny Lau put me in touch with Jason Patton and this item is moving forward. From Jason:

"Your CityWorks request was routed to the Transportation Services Division and it is in their queue. I am getting involved to help resolve this issue because I was responsible for the striping plans that added the bike lanes to Shattuck Ave in conjunction with the resurfacing of the roadway. In our design process, we did not include the “keep clear” marking. That marking was initially installed around 2005 and, by the time the bike lane project was in design, the “keep clear” marking was no longer visible:

I will be supporting the Transportation Services Division in completing the work order to have the marking installed. The work order is then submitted to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Operations – the organization that has a striping crew. Note that their queue is also quite long. So the short answer is I will help get the work order submitted, but I am not able to give you a timeframe for final resolution of the issue."

From Jason Patton: "Yesterday the Transportation Services Division authorized the work order to install the “Keep Clear” markings. We then submitted it to the Public Works Department’s Bureau of Infrastructure and Operations. Part of that Bureau is the Traffic Maintenance group that has crews who install roadway markings. Note that their workload is large, and we do not have a role in setting their priorities."

I also added a See Click Fix to add a crosswalk across Shattuck on the north side of 65th & Shattuck. Please vote for it.

Happy holidays!

Thanks to Transportation Services Division, Public Works Department’s Bureau of Infrastructure and Operations for getting this done!
