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.

Caltrans is working on a project to reconfigure Encinal and make it safer. Information can be found here: https://gather.cdmsmith.com/v/y2qm2KdR1wO

We are on the corner of Central and 9th St. I see cars, trucks, tractor-trailers, etc. flying past our window going WAY over the speed limit. Many over 40 mph. We are a block away from a school and 2 blocks from a park. People are constantly walking across the street in the crosswalks. I fear for their safety. Something needs to be done. I have contacted the police to place an officer there to ticket drivers but they just said that they will put in on their list. I have never seen a driver pulled over in the area.
