Thank you for your request to improve the safety and efficiency of Alameda’s transportation system. It has been received as #19-07-0085. 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.

5th st is crazy. people speeding all the time to traverse from central to lincoln. i would love to see another stop sign or two.

Terrified of getting hit taking a left.
Terrified the children will be hit.
Also the amount of people speeding and doing u turns on Taylor is mind boggling.

Thank you for your request to help make Alameda’s transportation infrastructure as safe and efficient as possible. Your suggestion will be included in the annual review of locations where traffic calming measures may be implemented. Public Works, Alameda Police, and the City’s Transportation Planning Unit prioritize improvements based a location’s history of collisions, police citations, its relationship with existing transportation plans and improvements, cost of the improvement given budget constraints, and suggestions from members of the public, such as yours. Please find more information about the locations and improvements occurring in 2020 here:

and more about traffic safety and calming generally here: https://www.alamedaca.gov/Departments/Public-Works/Traffic-Safety-and-Calming

Going forward, please submit any traffic calming requests to the Traffic Calming Suggestion category.
