Yes the parents are the impatient ones. They are putting their own children's lives at risk as well as others due to their selfish entitlement. Thank you for putting in this request

Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. This spring, the City will begin public engagement on the Lincoln/Marshall/Pacific Avenue Safety Improvement Project, which will design major improvements for three miles of this high injury corridor from Alameda Point at Pacific/Central/Main to the East End at Lincoln/Broadway. I passed along this report to the project managers. We also encourage you to provide input via upcoming events and surveys. The first community workshop will be held on Wednesday, April 27 at 6:30 pm. Make sure you hear about these by joining the Lincoln/Marshall/Pacific mailing list: www.AlamedaCA.gov/subscribe . Read more about the project and register for the workshop: www.AlamedaCA.gov/Lincoln

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.

Thank you for the quick and thoughtful response. I am very happy this area is being prioritized for safety improvements. I love roundabouts! I will attend the webinar in April and help where I can. I’ve already registered and hope more Woodstock neighbors do the same.

Lincoln/Marshall/Pacific Safety Project Community Workshop

Thank you! Glad you can participate in the workshop.

resident came in to request some type of signage, speed bumps, or something that will slow down drivers near and in front of the Academy of Alameda. Says cars speed at 40+mph with no regard to people/children in the crosswalk.

I attended the Lincoln/Marshall/Pacific Safety Project Community Workshop on Apr 27, 2022 06:30 PM. I was impressed with the proposed plan and excited to see the changes in the coming year.

I raised my hand and spoke to the Pacific/Marshall/Lincoln merge. I recommended further studies be conducted in this area between the hours of 7am-8:30am and 2:30p-3:30p. This is the high traffic time when the kids are being dropped off and picked up by their parents. I believe this requires a remedial solution now since there is actively speeding cars, kids crossing outside of cross walks, and obstructed views (trees, acute corners, etc). I would like to see the city address the immediate needs with speed 'dots', painted walk ways, and more signage showing speed limits.

Can the city work on a remedial plan to resolve the danger of this area now until we finalize the bigger project?

Fully agree with the statement calling for a remedial plan until the much needed safety project can be finished, 2 or so years from now. Speed bumps, full traffic signal....something! I see close calls every day.

Note - it's on record & the City acknowledges the concern. They are liable - need to fast track something to be done or be held accountable if injury occurs.
