Description
Along the bike path on Island Drive two large driveways that serve as the exit and entrance to the Safeway / CVS - harbor bay landing shopping center pose a danger to kids riding that path to and from school. The stop sign at the exit is small and I have often seen drivers "roll" through it and have near misses of hitting a child on a bike . In addition , when a bicyclist stops or pauses at this intersection to check for cars they are blocked from the cars view both by the stop sign and an additional signpost that is there - causing an unsafe visibility issue.For cars entering the lot from Island Drive there is no stop sign - so Cars then turn in and cross the bike path at a faster rate from Island Drive.

Thank you for your request to improve roadway, pedestrian and bike safety in Alameda. We appreciate your feedback and value your input. At the direction of City Council, the City is working to address safety for all modes of travel around the City in accordance with its Vision Zero Action Plan and Active Transportation Plan. See here to learn more about how we are Building Safer Streets.
Your request is currently being reviewed by Alameda PD to determine if and what safety measures may be needed to address your concerns. However, as Alan noted previously, this signage is on private property and is outside the jurisdiction of the City.
As for contacting the property owner, you may try to perform an internet search on Harbor Bay Landing or inquire within the complex who the property management company may be. Thank you for your feedback!
