Description
Bike line abruptly ends and bikers often miss bike lane entrance near the bridge. As a result, bikers have to hop off their bike while dodging vehicular traffic, jump the bike barricades, and then haul their bike over the barricades to rejoin the new bike route. More visible signs and arrows directing bikers would prevent these constant near-misses.

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.
