Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. In April 2023, the City Council endorsed a design concept for the Lincoln/Marshall/Pacific Avenue Safety Improvement Project, which will include major improvements for three miles of this high injury corridor from Alameda Point at Pacific/Central/Main to the East End at Lincoln/Broadway. This concept includes design changes that are proven to reduce speeds and improve pedestrian safety at crossings. The City/consultant team has completed 25 percent design drawings and submitted a grant application for $20 million to fund the corridor improvements. We will continue to seek grant funding for both corridor improvements. More information at www.AlamedaCA.gov/LincolnMarshallPacific. Join the mailing list at www.AlamedaCA.gov/subscribe

Your report will help inform the City of Alameda’s work to achieve our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. Staff will retain your report and refer to it the next time we undertake a project on this street, whether it is pavement resurfacing or a corridor update. For selection of new safety improvement projects, the City refers to High Injury Corridors, equity indicators, Active Transportation Plan projects, and street resurfacing needs, augmented by Street Safety Concerns.
