To date, the Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools (SR2S) Program has conducted school safety assessments (SSA’s) at eight school locations in the City of Alameda (City), and more are now underway. The purpose of an SSA is to identify and evaluate the transportation safety issues around a school with the help of the school community, and to make recommendations to address these issues. All of Alameda’s completed SSA’s can be viewed here. This capital project will implement the more complex SSA recommendations for the eight schools listed below. Some examples of improvements types are: rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) systems, curb extensions, and new crosswalks. The City’s long-term goal is to conduct and implement SSA’s at all of our public, charter, and private schools.
