City Of Oakland releases new survey to improve Chinatown’s pedestrian safety

Oakland’s Chinatown is a historic, downtown neighborhood – being one of the oldest such neighborhoods in the nation. But approximately 30 percent of Chinatown’s streets are in the city’s high-injury network – the six percent of Oakland streets that see 63 percent of severe and fatal crashes.

The multilingual survey’s goal is to gather community input on safety and development improvements. Looking in particular at Chinatown’s 10th and 7th streets, 8th and 9th streets intersections and the Webster and Harrison streets intersections.
