Description
Shoreline Drive, while beautiful, is very dangerous to pull onto from the various apartment complex driveways. As a resident, I have found cars speeding at up to 45mph and obstructions of view on a regular basis. Specifically at 2445 Shoreline, there are parking spaces all the way up to our driveway with no lead/gap for visibility of oncoming traffic. Leaving my home feels very unsafe and like a roll of the dice every time. A moderately sized red zone between 2445 and 2465 and/or speedhumps would greatly help our situation!
With the tragic recent passing of Supervisor Chan just a couple blocks away, I hope this situation can be taken more seriously.

Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. Upon receiving these reports, the City asked ACI to move the debris box to increase visibility at this driveway. ACI has removed it. The City is also considering this location for red curbs to increase roadway visibility.
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.
