Abstract

Bancroft Avenue, located in East Oakland, represents a tremendous opportunity to reimagine traffic safety for Oakland residents. Of particular interest to this project is a section of the street extending from Seminary Ave to 67th Ave, which is sandwiched between more recent development on Seminary and a raised center median that widens at 67th. This area can and should be a safer place for residents to get around, regardless of their mode of transportation. A plurality of the population in this area is Latinx, so outreach and assessment of community needs should take this into account. Most residents of the area commute to work using a private vehicle, even though the area is served by public transit and the corridor has a bike lane. Good alternatives need to be provided for those households that do not have access to a private vehicle, which are about 15% of all households in the area.
