Description

There is an uncontrolled, highly-used crosswalk at 22nd Street in Downtown Oakland, crossing Webster Street. However, a car parking spot at the NW corner of this intersection makes crossing pedestrians impossible to see until they are already in the street, especially for bicyclists riding in the bike lane to the far right of the roadway.

Strangely, there is a red curb at the SE corner of this intersection which appears to have no purpose, as there is no fire hydrant or other access issue there, and since the street is one-way it doesn't even improve the sight lines for the crosswalk.

I propose that the existing parking spot on the NW corner be removed and that curb painted red, and then the red curb at the SE corner be removed to add a parking space there. This way there is no net loss of parking while increasing the safety of the intersection for everyone. I have included an image illustrating the proposed change.

Please get on this right away before someone is hurt!
