Dear Ruben,
Thanks for following up, and for your continued participation! Here’s what we expect for parking impacts:
Gibbons/Northwood/Southwood roundabout: 5 on-street parking spaces removed to accommodate the roundabout, in addition to marking red curb at 8 spaces that are already no-parking zones per State daylighting law.
Southwood/Bayo Vista/Fairview roundabout: 3 on-street parking spaces removed to accommodate the roundabout, in addition to marking red curb at 6 spaces that are already no-parking zones per State daylighting law.
The State daylighting law is in effect, and it applies to intersections even without red curb or marked crosswalks.
Hope that helps! We will forward this information to Councilmembers and include it in the presentation.
Best,
Lisa Foster, Transportation Planning Manager, City of Alameda (she/her) 510-747-6833 | alamedaca.gov/transportationlinks

Lisa,
Will you or Scott provide more detail on
roundabout impacts to on-street parking for the
two intersections prior to the November 18th
Council meeting? The loss of on-street parking
to accommodate roundabouts may be even more
impactful given the new daylighting law for
crosswalks. I believe it's important for us and the
Council to know the full impacts before they vote.
Thank you,
Ruben Ramirez
