Can the city paint a "keep clear" on the intersection of Sherman at Eagle? When the light is red at Buena Vista, the cars back up and there is regularly a car sitting in the intersection blocking the flow of traffic. Eagle is starting to feel like a dead end as that intersection is blocked so much you can't get out that way. Cars who want to turn left onto Eagle then can't so Sherman and Buena Vista back up. Ditto for Eighth Street at Taylor and Haight. thank you.

Something needs to be done and thank you Kim for reporting this. I can attest that during the red lights to Sherman at Buena Vista, vehicles are backed up from Buena Vista all the way around the curve by the old Alameda Belt Line buillding.
Traveling N on Sherman, trying to turn left onto Eagle to get to my residence, vehicles are blocking access (& egreas) and most don't seem to pay attention to my turn signal, I always use a hand signal as well, however 2 lanes are forming southbound on Sherman, 1 lane for the left turn onto B.V., and the other lane either to turn R on eastbound B.V. or continue proceeding straight ahead on southbound Sherman. This means that though the lane of vehicles nearest to me will yield sometimes (not always) - most often the line of vehicles intending to continue straight ahead on Sherman or turn R on B.V. will be oblivious to the fact that there is someone attempting to turn L on Eagle. One runs the risk of getting creamed by that 2nd line of cars they speed around the curve by the Belt Line.
When cars back up due to someone trying to turn L onto Eagle, I have also witnessed vehicles headed towards Marina Village stopped at the light on Sherman and B.V. even when turns green because they don't want to block the intersection ("block the box" they call it in S.F.) on B.V...yet the cars behind them don't know what the problem is and start with the honking and profanities as they see a green light and don't know why the car isn't moving.
Traffic is a nightmare here at this particular spot & the TLC development is hardly off the ground.

Also, auto-reply boilerplate from the City is not very reassuring. If the City of Alameda does not have the money to mitigate traffic problems, then why do they continue to okay more and more traffic?
" Unfortunately, due to limited funding, there is a backlog of these requests and they are being handled in the order of receipt. Due to that backlog, some requests may take six months to a year to complete the analysis and recommendation."
And that is a year to even develop a recommendation, the actual mitigation -- if there is one -- could take years.
Who is in charge here?

What does that tell you about this worthless, pathetic excuse of a city government? Have you guys noticed at all that consistently, CONSISTENTLY, everything I ever say about this city ends up being 100% true. You notice? I keep telling folks, this city government is the most corrupt, most worthless and most evil city government the united states has ever seen. Am I wrong? I'm right. Always
This city government is a disgrace to the United States. They are parasites and vermin draining the lifeblood of the taxpayers. They are K.I.L.L.I.N.G Alameda.
Revolt now

or you can sit back and let this keep happening forever
want to accept permanent corruption? thats your choice
or you can join us, rise up and FIGHT to save this city.
choose wisely
