Pedestrian safety

Bike East Bay's advocacy director offered condolences for three pedestrians killed and urged the council to use every street design opportunity to slow drivers on the high-injury network.

Demanded accountability for the three deaths, urged quick-build solutions now rather than years-long studies, and asked the city to implement Bike Hayward's demands.

Said traffic violence is a crisis, warned shelved projects like Hayward Boulevard and Ruus Road expose the city to lawsuits and lost funding, and urged quick action on Bike Hayward's demands.

Demanded a full transparent police report on the crashes so the deaths aren't normalized, and suggested a bike/ped commission like Oakland's.
