Can a stop sign or a traffic signal be put up in Stanton and buena vista. I'm trying to cross the street with my kids and no one is stopping for the cross walk. Over the last two weeks I've nearly been run over several times.

I'm going to keep posting for this until someone takes action. I nearly witnessed a young woman in front of me nearly get run over by a van tonight speeding down Buena Vista. It's now very dark when many of us get home from work this time a year and this intersection DESPERATELY needs some sort of crosswalk light to signal that people are crossing the street. Many people park their cars along the road also blocking view of pedestrians attempting to cross.

We are also entering into the wet season when it takes more time to slow to a stop. Either get a cop out here to patrol and fine speeders, a mph warning sign, or install a damn crossing light here already! The Marina Shores community has been asking for one for 2 years now. There are also people speeding down Clement, you can work on that issue next.

What will it take- a dead pedestrian -for you to FINALLY take action? This is ridiculous!

I would like to propose a flashing crosswalk sign here similar to those used on Park street. Because of street parking, it is oftentimes difficult to see pedestrians on the sidewalk trying to cross and cars speed down the road. At night it is very dangerous trying to cross Buena Vista after exiting the bus.

Traffic has become dangerous at this intersection, with more cars turning on and off of Buena Vista, and crossing as a pedestrian or bike is nearly impossible. Cars regularly drive this stretch of BV between 40 & 60 mph. Please install the planned 3-way stop now, before a bad crash or pedestrian fatality occurs.

I just witnessed a City truck going in excess of 40 miles per hour down Buena Vista eastbound, accelerating like they were meeting on the highway. The truck was driven by a male maintenance worker. They may have been public works or rec and park.

Please remind your employees that it is their responsibility to drive safely and obey the law. Please also remind them that they are a very visible representation of our city government and their misdeeds will be looked at negatively by the community.

Please also remind them that the first and foremost duty of any public worker is to protect the public good and safety. Driving at excessive speeds down residential streets is not appropriate or acceptable.

Hi -

Please consider putting in a crosswalk similar to https://lanelight.com/crosswalks-rrfb/ at Buena Vista & Stanton.

Too many drivers use this street like a highway and we have had challenges crossing the street and when we are able to cross drivers don't slow down. Having the flashing lights would draw attention that there is/are pedestrian(s) trying to cross the street.

The safety of Alameda residents and guests appreciate this.

Thanks.

Tenants of this property dumped several mattresses and headboards as well as an office chair and propped them up against a utility pole. These have been there for several days now. Couldn't they have ordered a garbage pick up or dumpster instead of leaving these on the sidewalk and curb?

Alta Star Harbor (Del Monte building) is a commercial multi-family premises. They are consistently placing their garbage container on Entrance Road for collection in contravention of Alameda Municipal Code Chapter XXI Article II 21.24(b) b which requires that "Multi-Family and Commercial Premises. Multi-family and commercial occupants shall be responsible for placing all solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials containers in a location on their premises agreed upon by the customer and the franchisee. Occupants shall not place or store containers on or in any public street, sidewalk, footpath, or public place.
Alta Star Harbor is creating a community noise and smell nuisance for their residential neighbors on Entrace Road, whereas they could elect to have ACI collect these garbage containers from their own parking area along Clement creating no nuisance.

Growing homeless tent city behind Del Monte warehouse in the fenced off area.

The corner of lincoln and stanton desperately needs a stop sign. Drivers are constantly driving well over 25 mph and blow through the pedestrian crosswalk. Today, a driver was going very fast and hit a dog without stopping. I live on the corner so I often see people trying to cross the street and almost get hit. It is a blind corner and drivers fly around it without realizing there is a pedestrian crosswalk. There are a lot of families that live in the area and walk their dogs and kids. It is not safe on this corner without a stop sign.

Alta Star Harbor development has placed signs prohibiting parking from 6am to 6pm along 3 car parking spaces at the south east end of their building and is using those spaces to store unsightly dumpters which face the front doors of the Marina Shores residents along Entrace Road between Buena Vista and Clement. I do not believe the no parking signs are city installed as I have not seen this format or parking restriction type elsewhere in Alameda. I also believe that city code requires that garbage containers not be stored on the street other than on collection days.
