Alameda Mayor

Every time we walk to park we run into cigarettes. Your refusal to enforce the ordinance is not helpful. Also at Southshore where we often run into customers and Safeway truck drivers smoking on the sidewalks and walkways.

The planting strip on the corner of Taylor and Page (address 732 Taylor) was removed and replaced with concrete.

When coming down Atlantic Ave (from the direction of Wind River Co.) and just before approaching Constitution way on the left side there is a large opening cut in the fence to the J Sweeney Park and just inside this opening is a growing homeless encampment. This has been ongoing and you have reconnected the fence only to have it cut again, however, this am when walking my dog I found several drug needles just outside the opening to the fence. I picked them up carefully and threw them away however this is now on a level of danger not only because there is drug use but they are throwing their needles on the ground. Please have clean up this encampment so there is no danger to any children who may go in the field to play and secure the fence once again.

This is really two separate issues and I'm not sure which department handles these things .

There is an ongoing and worsening problem of red light running, speeding and failure to yield to pedestrians at the intersection of Atlantic and Webster. I cross here several times a day and the condition worsens year after year. This is the busiest pedestrian intersection in the entire City of Alameda. There are over 6500 students, faculty and staff who work at the College of Alameda. In addition, ASTI High School is at this location as well as senior housing, the City's Housing Authority and the the Walgreen's / Starbuck's shopping area.

Is it really okay to keep an old car in plain view of the street? See also garbage furniture

I can see a tent set up right inside the Atlantic Avenue fence.
The other morning I saw a guy maneuvering his bicycle through the opening in the fence. I've seen a pair of guys with their shopping carts full of stuff hanging around the fence opening also.

Uneven path creates a trip hazard and a crash hazard for cyclists

During rush hour, cars moving south on 8th across the Santa Clara constantly run the light and block the intersection when the light turns red. I see this several times a week. It creates a dangerous situation for pedestrians, as well as E/W traffic on Santa Clara.

Many cars speeding down the street, dangerous and noisy

The public seating area at 1435 Webster Street is littered with dozens of cigarette butts.
