Thank you for your request to improve the safety and efficiency of Alameda’s transportation system.

Requests for many transportation issues, including stop signs, curb painting, and traffic calming measures, typically require 8-12 weeks to complete before staff can develop a recommendation. These requests involve review of current plans and policies, compilation of accident and/or other history, coordinating with Alameda Police and other stakeholders, outreach to residents or others who may be affected by the proposed change, on-site data collection and analysis, and sometimes consultation with outside experts.

I will follow up with you about your request when your request is at the top of the queue. Unfortunately, due to limited funding, there is a backlog of these requests and they are being handled in the order of receipt. Due to that backlog, some requests may take six months to a year to complete the analysis and recommendation.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I also submitted the same request prior to this request. I’m happy that others agree.

I've suggested a similar crosswalk, with traffic light operating ONLY during Earhart school drop off / pickup times, to offload some of the Packet Landing traffic & street parking, to municipal golf course parking lot.

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. Please visit the following link to learn more about how we are Building Safer Streets: https://www.alamedaca.gov/Departments/Public-Works/Building-Safer-Streets.

Your request has been reviewed by Engineering staff to determine if and what safety measures may be needed to address your concerns. We have collected pedestrian and vehicle count data in the area and have determined that, in accordance with the City's design guidelines and industry standards, installation of a crosswalk at this location is not currently feasible.

If you continue to feel unsafe in this area, the City has created a new SeeClickFix category specifically for identifying safety issues - “Street Safety Concern.” These concerns will be used to identify safety trends citywide, which will inform the development of safety projects and initiatives to address these trends. Per City Council direction, prioritization of resources and work is to be guided by Vision Zero and the defined high injury network corridors and intersections. Locations that are not on the high injury network will still be considered for safety and solutions will be integrated into future Capital Improvements Programs.
