Description
Difficult to exit our block. The No Turn On Red at Park St. is no longer enough. Traffic from stop light at Broadway backs up thru intersection. People ignore you trying to turn right and block the intersection if you are turning left or going straight. We need a keep-clear box so we can exit.

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.

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 visited the location and collected required data and have found that additional signage and striping at this location is justified due to the high volumes and congestion generated by the adjacent signals. We will begin the processes for installing this signage and roadway striping in short order.
Again, thank you for your feedback and patience with this matter. We look forward to implementing the appropriate measures to help address the concerns you have brought our attention.
