Sorry that happened to you. You’re right that this is part of the design, so not much that can be fixed here. Not even sure it’s city of Alameda that could fix it, since this is technically part of Alameda Landing.

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.
