We are saddened to learn of yet another neighbor killed by a driver on International
He was walking on the sidewalk at 91st and International when a speeding driver collided with a parked car. The driver was speeding with such force that the collision pushed the parked car onto the curb and killed him
Join us this Tuesday, June 27th at 6pm at International and 91st to pay our respects, and demand OakDOT and AC Transit repair Oakland's most dangerous street as quickly as possible
We spoke to a neighbor on Saturday who has lived in the neighborhood for decades
He told us the bus lanes are one of the worst things to happen to the neighborhood since more people speed down International than ever before. His experience is backed by data: https://twitter.com/buttsmeister/status/1640943052100632576
He said that cops never stop speeders and are frequently the worst offenders going faster in the bus lanes than anyone else. He explained they don't have these problems in Mexico since they put concrete bumps in the road to stop this
We recently learned AC Transit and OakDOT are collaborating on a quick build project to add vertical delineators along bus lane with red paint at entrances
We are looking forward to the speedy deployment of this project because every month delayed is another life lost
