Description
Elderly pedestrian almost stuck by speeding truck in a crosswalk this AM. She had to run out of the way and the truck didn't even slow, only swerved around. This school and residential zone is hazardous for pedestrians and cyclists, and for drivers who live in the neighborhood. Please have crosswalks better marked and signaled. Install slowing measures and cite erratic drivers. We should not have to wait for a death for this to happen. City Hall, take care of your constituents!

It is slowly being worked on, but, I think we should invite our city officials, OPD representatives and the concerned citizens, meet and stand along Park Blvd, then, we can all understand how this problem is impacting our quality of life along Park Blvd.

Wait a minute, this Issue is closed ?
"City of Oakland Public Works Agency addressed this issue on 03/18/2014, service request # 505451."
Sorry, I don't understand what it means and would like to ask for some clarification from the PWA.
In order to resolve this issue, it will require:
1) to meet / work with the City Traffic Engineering Dept to address the on-going problem many years.
2) to educate the speeders about the 25 MPH speed limit zone.
3) more 25 MPH speed limit signs along Park Blvd, between Oakland High, all the way down to
E-18th St, right now we only have ONE sign.
4) then, we will need OPD enforcement on the speeders.
So, I would like to ask this issue be reopened. Thank you.
