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.

Status update: we will have the data collected for this review in the near future. We can't provide a specific time frame as the data collection is dependent on clear skies and non-holiday weeks. This helps to ensure that average traffic is properly represented. Once we receive the data, it typically takes us 8-12 weeks for traffic analysis and public outreach.

Your request (#16-10-0274) is now a work order, assigned to staff. Thank you for helping to keep Alameda a great City. This is an automated response. If your request is an emergency, please call 911.

Public Works staff recommends Police Enforcement during morning rush hour for this area.
