Beschreibung
The intersection of Oak and Clinton is the worst. Cars parked in the Red zone on Oak blocking the view of cross-traffic @ Clinton. Skateboarders and bicyclists running right through the stop sign, large trucks making U turns in the intersection. San Jose and Oak is a joke. People ignore the "safe street" barricades. San Antonio is confusing as nobody knows who has the right of way and that Oak doesn't have a stop sign. The students at Alameda High have no respect while crossing the street at Alameda Avenue -- difficult to turn right at Alameda Avenue or Central. Cars turn left out of the theater garage onto Oak.

Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. Below is some information that may be helpful:
- Oak St and San Antonio Ave. In 2023, the City added “cross traffic does not stop” signs below the stop signs on San Antonio at Oak, helping clarify that the intersection does not have an all-way stop. In 2022 this intersection was “daylit” as part of the High Injury Corridor Daylighting Project to increase visibility and safety.
- Oak St and San Jose Ave. San Jose Ave is identified as a future Neighborhood Greenway in the Active Transportation Plan, and the barricades will be removed when San Jose transitions from a Slow Street to a Neighborhood Greenway. A new facility type for Alameda, Neighborhood Greenways will be traffic-calmed pedestrian- and bicycle-priority streets (still open to autos) with crossing improvements at key intersections. More information about transitioning Slow Streets to Neighborhood Greenways is at www.alamedaca.gov/slowstreets.
- Oak St and Clinton Ave. Please report parking violations to 510-522-PARK. Sorry to hear that people are parking in the red zones; you are correct that keeping those clear is important for visibility and safety.
Your report will help inform the City of Alameda’s work to achieve our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries.
