Last Saturday's pop-up event on Pacific Ave was a big success - we collected input from over 200 people on the issues they see along the street and on our early draft concept plan for the Pacific Ave Neighborhood Greenway. We want to hear from even more folks!

  • Early draft concept plan (link here) for Pacific Ave Neighborhood Greenway (9th to Oak). If you prefer to review a hard copy, email us and we can mail it to you. 
  • Comment on the concept plan by 10/20: Use this form or email transportation@alamedaca.gov. 
  • Safety concerns: Share your walking and biking safety and other concerns along Pacific Ave via this web map, or by emailing transportation@alamedaca.gov, ideally by October 20.
  • The concept plan includes many quick-build traffic circles. Check out what one could look like at Pacific and Chestnut (here and also below).

All materials are also posted on the Neighborhood Greenways web page.

New! Share your walking/biking concerns on all Greenways

Use our new web map (link here) to tell us about your biking and walking safety concerns and needs for all nine of the planned Neighborhood Greenways, especially the three that will be implemented first - the Slow Street segments of Pacific, San Jose/Morton and Versailles.

Next Steps

We'll take all of the input we receive about the needs on Pacific Avenue, plus the input on the early draft concept plan, and develop a second draft concept plan which we'll share in November. We'll announce an open house date soon!

What are Neighborhood Greenways?

Neighborhood Greenways are local, traffic-calmed streets designed to give priority to people walking and biking, where bicyclists and motorists can safely share the road and busy street crossings have been made safer. They are a key component of the Council-adopted Active Transportation Plan, forming 10 miles of the 2030 Low-Stress Bikeway Backbone Network

They are not Slow Streets. Greenways are being designed with community input and utilize many types of treatments to both calm traffic and improve the safety of crossings. Slow Streets were implemented quickly in response to the pandemic, using a single treatment of temporary barricades, with the intent to be temporary. Neighborhood Greenways are intended as a permanent safety installation.
