The Bridge Association of Realtors supports line item # C2 in FY 2020-21 Council Amendments to Fund 2232 Gas Tax RMRA, found at page 10 of Exhibit 2 to Agenda item #6.
Item # C2, “Start-Up to Launch In-House Sidewalk Repairs,” could begin the process of creating an effective sidewalk repair program that more quickly addresses sidewalk safety and accessibility issues in the city. It is important that these policy goals, and the speed at which they can be achieved, are kept in mind when determining best use of funds for sidewalk maintenance.
Creating a proactive sidewalk repair program will not only enable private property owners to obtain at cost service for such repairs, it could also create an opportunity for the city to cut expenditures on other less effective DOT programs.
Please approve:
- Exhibit 2, item C2, which allocates $272,338 for a “Start-Up to Launch In-House Sidewalk Repairs”
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
I previously lived 8th ST and I am very happy to learn our request to add permanent traffic calming during the paving project has been recommended for CIP funding.
Unfortunately, while we eagerly wait, 8th ST remains extremely dangerous due to reckless driving and speeding. I am writing to support Agenda item 6, including:
Exhibit 2, item C1, which allocates $800,000 for "High Priority Traffic Calming/Speed Bumps"
Exhibit 2, item D11 which allocates $100,000 for "Staff/funding for neighborhood traffic circle/roundabout placement at 8th and Willow"
Thank you for your support in working with neighborhood groups to make 8th Street safe for all residents!

We have a proposal to immediately implement a low-cost traffic calming solution on 8th Street between Mandela and Willow.
Once approved, OakDOT needs to immediately work with neighborhood groups like ours to install physical traffic calming barriers. With dozens of speeding and reckless drivers in front of our homes each and every day, we can no longer afford to wait.
