Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. Your report will help inform the City of Alameda’s work to achieve our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. We will use street safety reports, including yours, in combination with crash data and equity indicators to prioritize and design street safety investments. This evaluation will generally happen on an annual basis, with some exceptions for clear and pressing trends. Issues that the City deems to be immediate safety concerns will be elevated for quick action.

I second this suggestion. At night this cross walk is extraordinarily dangerous. The crosswalk closer to Island has lights this one doesn’t and it needs to. With the time change making it darker earlier this should be a priority and a very easy decision to improve safety for all of us.
