We call on @cityofoakland.bsky.social elected leaders like @charleneforoakland.bsky.social, OPD, OFD, and OakDOT to treat our city's traffic safety crisis as a public safety crisis and accelerate efforts to make our streets safe for everyone to use at all times of the day

According to neighbors it used to be safe enough for kids to play in the middle of these streets, but now even crossing one risks their life
If planned traffic calming for E 16th like 4-way stops, traffic circles, and speed cushions had been added already then they could have saved a life on Friday

We are saddened and outraged that yet another life has been tragically taken due to traffic violence
21 people have been needlessly killed on the streets of Oakland just this year and we are trending to 29 by the end of the year, only 1 less than last year
These injuries and deaths are preventable

Good point. This is more properly 52nd and Shattuck.
The labeling of this intersection is as confusing as crossing it.

We know physical interventions will prevent deadly collisions because we've seen those interventions already work wonders
It is so very crucial that we install those safety projects without delay, especially on high injury streets where we know fatalities will happen again

More than 30 people have been killed in traffic crashes on International Boulevard in the last five years. Oakland and AC Transit have a pilot in place, which added flex posts to parts of the road. These changes have clearly not done enough to prevent tragedy - harder interventions are needed.

The draft guidelines would also push first to move bikes to "different corridors," an approach widely disparaged for putting bike routes on winding streets and leaving riders unprotected on main roads to reach their destinations. (AC Transit has also been angling against Complete Streets at MTC)
