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.

Seconding the need for traffic calming on this portion of Buena Vista. A stop sign is planned for intersections along this stretch, why not put them in now instead of waiting for more costly streetscape improvements, see how the improvements to safety and traffic modulation work?

We’re wrapping up analysis for Buena Vista Ave between Entrance Rd and Stanton St. We will be mailing out a notice with our findings/recommendations in the near future. If you’d like to ensure that you receive a copy, please send an email to ata@alamedaca.gov, include your name and physical mailing address, and send it by Sunday, Feb 16.
