Thank you for your request to improve the safety and efficiency of Alameda’s transportation system.

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.

Pls try to finish before the schools starts

Thank you for your request to help make Alameda’s transportation infrastructure as safe and efficient as possible. Public Works, Alameda Police, and the City’s Transportation Planning Unit have developed a list of locations where traffic calming measures will be implemented. This list for 2017-2019 will be located at: https://alamedaca.gov/finance/budgets/2012-13 beginning in June 2017. Given tight budget constraints, the list is generated and prioritized based a location’s history of collisions, police citations, its relationship with existing transportation plans and improvements, and suggestions from members of the public, such as yours. In early 2018, we’ll reevaluate the current list of locations and consider your suggestion, along with the 100+ suggestions we are likely to receive from other members of the public in this calendar year.
