In order to preserve the beauty and safety of our island community, we must make our voices heard to the City Council, the Planning Board, Alameda Unified School District, the business community and remain constantly vigilant about issues protecting our children and seniors as they venture out and walk throughout Alameda.
Remember: Walking is also a mode of transportation and must be taken seriously by our city planners.
The following issues in Alameda involve pedestrian concerns:
• Webster Street Renaissance
• Park Street Streetscape Project
• Alameda Point Development
• School Crossing Guards
• Transportation Commission
• Drop-off & pick-up traffic at schools
• Safe Routes to Schools
• Sidewalk Maintenance
• Intersection design and safety
