Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. We have shared your report with PD and City transportation engineers. The City conducted a speed survey on Otis in October 2021, and it found average speeds of 29-30 mph, depending on direction. Despite speeds being generally higher in 2021, this showed a small reduction compared to speeds observed in 2016, prior to the 2021 roadway reconfiguration.
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.
