Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. The City is exploring options for the Lincoln corridor safety improvements to encourage safer auto speeds and make pedestrian crossings safer. City Council recently allocated $200,000 as part of the two-year 2022-24 budget to do an in-depth study of safety improvements on the Lincoln corridor. We are also exploring concepts as part of the Active Transportation Plan. In summer 2020, community members provided feedback on these draft Lincoln Ave concepts: https://www.activealameda.org/Recommendations#section-7. The full draft Active Transportation Plan should be released by the end of 2021. Join the mailing list by clicking here: www.alamedaca.gov/Subscribe

Your report will help inform the City of Alameda’s work to achieve our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. We will use street safety reports, including yours, in combination with crash data and equity indicators to prioritize and design street safety investments. This evaluation will generally happen on an annual basis, with some exceptions for clear and pressing trends. Issues that the City deems to be immediate safety concerns will be elevated for quick action.
