Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. I have passed your report to the Clement Ave project team. 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.

On multiple occasions i have seen drivers on westbound Clement merging fully into the bike lanes to turn right from Clement onto Grand. Bollards could help prevent that. The bike lanes are also not protected for the last block of Clement, which is part of the problem.
