REASON FOR SUPPLEMENTAL
Councilmember Reid requested that the crash data initially provided in the staff report be updated with more recent data. Updates are noted below.
Race & Equity: Between 2020 and 2023, there have been 78 collisions at the local City street intersections within the project area, including one collision involving people biking and 16 collisions involving people walking. In 2018, the Oakland Equity Indicators Report found troubling disparities in pedestrian deaths in Oakland. There are about two severe or fatal traffic crashes each week, with crashes disproportionately impacting Black, Indigenous, and people of color and high priority communities. The OAAP area is located within the City’s high and medium priority communities. Safety improvements that prioritize people walking and biking help address collision disparities and reduce barriers to accessing active transportation.
