  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.

  I would also request a four way stop sign at Santa Clara and everett. with the vet and the medical center, there are too many pedestrians and speeding motorist on Everett crossing central and Santa Clara.

  @ Emily: There is on Everett only. I think the sign should stop traffic moving along Central, as there is a pedestrian crosswalk there that is either ignored, or sight of pedestrians is blocked by parked cars on either side of the street.

  @jczein: I agree. The vet and medical center are actually closer to Central (Where I proposed a stop) but the corner at Santa Clara and Everett has a pre-school on it, and the little kids are often being picked up by parents and they often make their way across to Everett.

  These were fine probably 30 years ago, but there are so many more pedestrians, and so much more traffic, that we need to control these intersections before people are seriously hurt.

  Please, no more stop signs! I live on Everett Street. If you want to help protect pedestrians, ask for the flashing yellow lights at those intersections. When I am on my bike especially, I hate 4 way stops because they are confusing for everyone. But even in a car, it would make for more problems and backups, especially with a short block to the light at Central and Park St. Likewise with Santa Clara Avenue. It wastes energy because everyone has to stop whether or not there are other vehicles in the intersection. Central is a bike route and I would like an alternative to 4 way stops on Central where they already exist, let alone add more. And on Santa Clara, please, no, because it is a major bus route through town. The visibility is good both intersections, in contrast to Sherman and Santa Clara where it is not.

  Thank you for submitting your request to the City of Alameda Public Works Department. We are currently developing a new process for handling traffic calming requests. Each request will be scored based on various quantitative and qualitative traffic related criteria. The requests with the highest scores will then be added to a list (to be reviewed for the next 1-2 fiscal years). Requests that are not selected will remain in the pool for consideration at a later time. We will add your request to the pool so that it may go through the selection process.

  Since you are interested in bicycle and pedestrian safety issues, please note that the City will be updating its Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans starting in mid-2019. If you’d like to receive notices about opportunities to provide input on these updates, please send your email address to transportation@alamedaca.gov.

  In the meantime, we will reassign this case to APD so that they may enforce the area.
