Our hearts reach out to his family, friends, students, and everyone else mourning this tremendous loss

Grand has been on Oakland’s High Injury Network for years as one of the 6% of streets with over 60% of collisions
Senior centers, churches, and schools are separated from Lake Merritt by speeding drivers treating excessively wide Grand as a highway onramp
Join us, @walkoakbikeoak.bsky.social, and @bikeeastbay.bsky.social to demand a Grand Ave that is safe for pedestrians
