A stop sign in both directions, on MacArthur Blvd, next to the existing bus stops at Alma Ave.
The stops will slow the increasingly fast pace of the cars in the long uninterrupted stretches of MacArthur from both directions, past the school, the pool, two churches, and dozens of residential properties.
The cars GAIN speed, due to the wide open nature of the road, in both directions. The drivers do not even notice they are "opening it up", after climbing hills from each direction. Some drivers do know how fast they go, as this is a cute little way to avoid a portion of 580, and they hit 45-50mph, through our neighborhood and past the school and bus stops.
We have been homeowners here 27 years and this problem truly needs to be addressed. A solution is SO simple and inexpensive. MacArthur at Alma is really a scary intersection for any pedestrian because cars are coming hard from each direction. Most drivers are real good about stopping for pedestrians, but many are not. Why not slow them all down. The responsible ones won't mind at all and the buses are already fairly often stopping there. Please help make our neighborhood safer.
We have a petition signed by neighbors who agree with the need for two additional stop signs at this intersection.
Thank you for your time and interest.

I also agree that we need a stop sign on Mac Arthur Blvd. Students at the high school and other youngster are at risk to the speed of buses and cars as well. Jim

Parents, Teachers, Students, Neighbors, Beth Jacob Temple, St. Margaret Marys, Senior Apts, etc. please talk to the media and do not be afraid to go on camera. Besides the lights and open trenches, please note the destruction to the Parks !- City of Oakland and Rays Electric are aware of the leaks to the media and Mayors office and may NOW REPAIR ASAP the area and avoid any 'on air' interviews . It is time to call for a grand jury investigation.

Don't worry about Micheal Finney and "7 On Your Side" , it appears they have called an URGENT meeting and there may be a "Priority Work Team" dispatched with an EMERGENCY work order. The City Auditor and Grand Jury are now involved. They DO NOT want anyone to go on camera or make any statements.
There is no explanation of why they destroyed the parklets and killed trees and now have abandoned the project. FYI - They confirmed last Holiday season, that there is NO chip shortage that affects this project. A compelling learning lesson for Edna Brewer Middle School and Oakland High students on dirty city politics, corruption and the dark side of our elected representatives.

This project has been scandal ridden and basically a public safety emergency.
The other parklet next to Edna Brewer is still in shambles and is nothing but dirt and weeds and starting to attract trash. There are two trees left that were not destroyed/ vandalized by the work crews. The Project Manager never shows his face or tries to communicate with the neighborhood, but we have the momentum now and this has been a nightmare for over two years. It took the PTA and Teachers union at Edna Brewer to regain control of this sitution.
The City Auditor will have a field day with this travesty, when the time is right. We will NEVER FORGET and this will not be swept under the rug.
