Thank you for your request to improve the safety and efficiency of Alameda’s transportation system. It has been received as #18-06-0167. 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. We 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 live near this corner, and can attest that visibility is just terrible here, making it dangerous and scary to try to turn onto Lincoln — especially given that cars are flying down Lincoln much at 30-40 mph there.

Staff has reviewed this intersection and is recommending to move forward with painting red curbs at corner to improve visibility. Staff will send a notice to the neighborhood in the coming weeks and work will proceed soon thereafter.
