Yeah, this has been pointed out before. The city won’t take action until someone dies unfortunately.

Willing to be the martyr for this intersection alameda. Just let me walk casually across a few times, I’m sure a car will come get me!

Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. We are glad you are ok after your scary experience. Your report will help inform the City of Alameda’s work to achieve our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. We will use street safety reports, including yours, in combination with crash data and equity indicators to prioritize and design street safety investments. This evaluation will generally happen on an annual basis, with some exceptions for clear and pressing trends. Issues that the City deems to be immediate safety concerns will be elevated for quick action.
