We also have elderly people that take their walks with canes and walkers that have been affected by these issues.

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.

We have young children and elderly using walkers on our street and many cars and trucks come zooming onto our cul-de-sac thinking it's a through street - our neighbors and parents are having to tell them to slow down for the safety of the young children and elderly using their walkers. We as parents put large bight signs with flags ... "SLOW" and 'DRIVE AS IF YOUR CHILD(REN) LIVES HERE" out on our driveway while the children are riding their bikes and elderly are walking with their walkers BUT that does not seem to slow them down. We need a large visible sign letting people know that this is not a through street and they need to slow down when driving. Thank you.

How long will it take to have this issue resolved - we have requested this since the beginning of December 2021.

Is it possible to get a signage at the beginning of street large enough for vehicles to see:

THIS IS A DEAD-END STREET
SLOW DOWN CHILDREN AT PLAY
ROAD CLOSED TO THROUGH TRAFFIC

There are many streets that have these signs at the beginning and also on some streets they have it the beginning and ending of their streets (see attached).

We have too many car, vans, trucks, delivery vehicles, etc. coming in and out of our street thinking that it's a through street - many also speed in and out paying no attention to children at play.

We as parents with our young children playing, riding their bikes and the elderly taking their walks on the street have many times yelled at these vehicles to slow down. We always place "SLOW DOWN VISUAL SIGNAGE, KID ALERT VISUAL WARNING SIGNAGE - CHILDREN AT PLAY, and DRIVE LIKE YOUR KIDS LIVE HERE SIGNS" out whenever our children are out with us playing but most vehicles “not residents on our street” disregard our signs, our children playing and us as parents.
