ALT Headline: International Blvd is Now Much Safer Photo: Plastic post lane delineators and speed cushions on International Blvd in Fruitvale

ALT One year later, what next? International Boulevard is no longer the most dangerous street in Oakland. Our city-wide traffic fatalities have fallen so far this year, and based on this report, it may be due entirely to these changes. But there is still work to finish the job. First, speed cushions need to be installed the length of the whole corridor, especially on blocks with bus stops Anywhere we see damage to posts likely indicates the need for more substantial lane barriers such as rubberized bus-lane delineators or "armadillos" Most importantly, everyone involved needs to learn the lessons of this tragedy and response. Oakland can quickly make our streets much safer with very little money, but we need to decide to do it sooner!
