Join neighbors at Harrison and Hamilton tomorrow at 7:45am for a Valentine's Day protest for a safer Harrison Arterial roads with multiple lanes are dangerous for pedestrians to cross because drivers use them to speed Oakland has the tools to slow drivers to safe speeds, let's use them!

There are always warnings. This is one from 2017 after an earlier project on Grand Ave using funds intended to improve traffic safety ended up lengthening the crosswalk where Michael was killed. Some of us complained at the time to no avail. www.oaklandca.gov/projects/lak...

We can make our streets far safer for retired academics and little children and moms with baby strollers and teens chattering in a clump and workers returning home. But we need to dedicate ourselves to the task. Join us at oakrapidresponse.org @tvrr.bsky.social

In Summer 2023 after a tragic, fatal crash on Lakeshore Ave in Oakland we launched our Lake Merritt Loop cycletrack campaign at BikeEastBay.org/LakeMerrittLoop, with the goal of winning a continuous protected cycletrack all the way around Lake Merritt. Here is a progress update since then.

🚨 Keep OakDOT independent! 🚨 OakDOT has proven themselves highly effective at delivering critical safety improvements. Merging them with OPW puts this success at risk Tell Council to reject a hasty merger and push for more thoughtful, long-term solutions instead tvrr.substack.com/p/another-da...

We are incredibly grateful that #oakdot and #ACTransit will be installing plastic posts this Tuesday to deter speeding in the bus lanes These initial measure must quickly be followed with speed cushions to ensure drivers slow to safe speeds www.actransit.org/quick-builds...

Oakland neighbor was killed by a driver at 98th and San Leandro this morning while crossing the street 😢 98th is one of the 6% of Oakland roads with the majority of injuries. We desperately need quick-build traffic calming that forces safe driving www.sfchronicle.com/crime/articl...
