I think one way streets are a very interesting and potentially positive plan to look at as well.

PLEASE keep Park Street only one lane in each direction! We need a nice slow street, not a raceway. 20 MPH zone would be great

Ruined? So dramatic.

Get rid of the slow streets!!! With all the constructions happening on a regular base, San Jose Ave is a joke with people running the 4 way stop on oak and San Jose Ave. I have witness accidents and road rage!

Have you ever been driving on either Park Street or Webster Street when a firetruck needs to get through?? There is nowhere to pull over for an emergency. Please put it back to the way it was. And, yes, the privileged, should not have "slow streets" while traffic is diverted to other streets. I was almost run over when a driver raced along Encinal to his slow street by Encinal Hardware. The pandemic is over. Let's get back to normal.

Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. On July 5, 2023, the City Council gave direction for staff to proceed with an updated striping plan for Park St and Webster St that aims to reduce parking confusion, efficiently utilize empty space and improve aesthetics on these two major commercial corridors. The new configuration will move parking back to the curb, maintain two travel lanes (one in each direction), fulfill City Council direction to place concrete barricades around parklets, and use the remaining extra space for striped bike lanes. Construction is expected in late 2023 or early 2024. This configuration gives more space for emergency vehicles, who can utilize bike lanes as needed.

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.
