  Thank you for your request to improve the safety and efficiency of Alameda’s transportation system. It has been received as #21-04-0108. 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. We 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.

  After discussing the situation further with the citizen, staff found that the blocking of the driveway is due to passenger loading and not parking. Staff does not recommend red curb as it would not address the situation. Further, there are no suitable engineering tools for this behavior.

  Red curbs (and no parking signs) are self enforcing tools, meaning they do not actively, physically prevent motorists from parking. For the most part, motorists are aware that they are not supposed to park/drop-off in a red zone, so they are consciously violating the law. Additionally, in school zones, passenger drop-offs in red zones or in front of driveways are an unacceptable, unfortunate, common occurrence.
