We have lots of updates to share on planning and implementing Neighborhood Greenways in Alameda!
Join us at the San Jose Ave/Morton St and Versailles Ave Neighborhood Greenways pop-up event! We're planning the Neighborhood Greenways for the Slow Street sections of these streets and want to hear from you.
- Learn about Neighborhood Greenways
- Share your concerns and ideas about walking and biking along San Jose Ave and/or Versailles Ave
- View and give input on draft concept plans for San Jose Ave and Versailles Ave
- Each station will have materials for the respective Neighborhood Greenway, activities for kids and staff who can answer your questions
Saturday, April 19 / 10am - 1pm
Two outdoor corner stations, one on each street:
- San Jose Ave at Chestnut St / Versailles Ave at Lincoln Ave
Other ways to engage: Share your input on existing safety issues on our interactive web map. We'll also post the concept plans after the pop-up, so you can view them and give input.
The first phase of the Pacific Ave Neighborhood Greenway implementation will start this month with the installation of new stop signs on Willow at Pacific and on Walnut at Pacific, along with daylighting at the corners. These new all way stops will improve safety for people walking and biking across these busy streets and increase visibility for all.

The second phase of the Pacific Ave Neighborhood Greenway will be constructed in late summer/early fall, between Lafayette and Oak, with the installation of a traffic circle at Chestnut, painted curb extensions at Lafayette and Oak Streets, six asphalt speed humps between Chestnut and Oak, daylighting at all intersections and the installation of paint and bollards in the new bulbouts at the Willow and Walnut intersections. The City will also be working with property owners to bring overgrown landscaping at corner properties into compliance with City code, to further improve visibility for all.
The Lafayette to Oak Street segment of the Neighborhood Greenway will pilot these traffic calming treatments, which the City will then modify, as needed, before implementing them on the rest the Slow Street segments of Pacific Ave (Ninth to Lafayette), and San Jose/Morton and Versailles.

Use our web map 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.
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 street crossing safety. Slow Streets were implemented quickly in response to the pandemic, using a single treatment of temporary barricades. Neighborhood Greenways are intended as a permanent safety installation.
