Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. Caltrans is about to begin construction on the “Crosswalk Safety Enhancements” project, which includes flashing beacons and striping improvements at Broadway and Calhoun, as well as Broadway and San Jose. These should be installed by early 2022.

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.
