Deskripsyon
This crosswalk is dangerous for pedestrians, especially after dark. Cars approach at significant speed (especially when they've just driven at full speed through a green light at Constitution&Atlantic or Constitution&Buena Vista), and most don't seem to be looking for pedestrians at all. I saw one incident at night where the pedestrian had to leap out of the way while the car swerved wildly to avoid a collision.
Would it be possible to install in-road warning lights, or something similar to call attention to the crosswalk while pedestrians are present?

Requests for many transportation issues, including stop signs, curb painting, and traffic calming measures, typically require 8-12 weeks to complete before staff can develop a recommendation. These requests involve review of current plans and policies, compilation of accident and/or other history, coordinating with Alameda Police and other stakeholders, outreach to residents or others who may be affected by the proposed change, on-site data collection and analysis, and sometimes consultation with outside experts.
I will follow up with you about your request when your request is at the top of the queue. 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.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your request to help make Alameda’s transportation infrastructure as safe and efficient as possible. Your suggestion will be included in the annual review of locations where traffic calming measures may be implemented. Public Works, Alameda Police, and the City’s Transportation Planning Unit prioritize improvements based a location’s history of collisions, police citations, its relationship with existing transportation plans and improvements, cost of the improvement given budget constraints, and suggestions from members of the public, such as yours. Please find more information about the locations and improvements occurring in 2020 here:

and more about traffic safety and calming generally here:

In the meantime, we have reassigned this case to APD for enforcement.
