I hope something is done or that officers can patrol a little more. This is really a freeway to many drivers that don't want to take Park Street. Again, there are many families with children on this street not to mention small children and elderly people who walk down our block for a stroll. Animals have been run over as well.

Maybe putting a sign with reflectors or a flashing light at Jackson Park where the green bench is might help? This might slow drivers down a bit. Something needs to be done. There are no lines on the street either to divide the street so drivers are speeding down through the middle of the street. Neighbors have been complaining for years and it seems that no one is listening.

Thank you for your request to improve the safety and efficiency of Alameda’s transportation system.

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.
