Still hoping to see something happen on this in the spring.
"Click" asked me today if this has been fixed. No it has not. We still need a traffic survey on this street. Thanks.
UPDATE:
Now that all the construction is done, can we please get a traffic study done? Thanks.
Hi,
Ever since I moved into my house at 739 Princeton, I've noticed that my street is used to avoid the traffic lights on MLK. There are little kids that often play near or in the streets. (Not too many places for fun around there.) Cars FLY down this street especially around 5pm on the way home from work. If a speed bump is not possible then a cop in the parking lot behind LA insurance might help to slow people down. I REALLY don't want to come home and see an ambulance carting away a child. You can put the bump right in front of my house if you like. I'm in the center of the street and that would be perfect! How much do they cost? I'd like to start a campaign to make this happen. Thanks.
New update: Its still needed! Even with the construction people are still driving too fast and kids play in the street!

The 85th percentile speed is generally about 5 miles per hour over the posted speed limit, while the average speed is typically within a few miles per hour of the posted speed. Since there is some level of speeding present at one time or another on most streets, we set our criteria to address the streets with significant speeding issues. We have looked at the possibility of assessing residents for areas that meet the criteria, but for which we don't have funding, but have not had a high demand for this and therefore have not pursued it. We would not recommend installation of traffic calming measures on streets that do not have documented speeding issues.

Thanks for getting back to me, Andy. I look forward to your survey then, once the construction has settled down.

A traffic study was done in early December 2011 after Oakland reopened. Data showed an 85th percentile speed of 30 miles per hour and 575 vehicles per day. The volume meets our criteria for traffic calming, but the speeds do not. Based on this, we would not recommend the installation of speed humps on Princeton at this time. We will put the street on the list for the speed trailer for enforcement and keep it on the list for future study to determine if traffic patterns have changed to a point that all criteria for traffic calming are met.
