OPD PRIORITIES FOR JUNE 2008

 

We look forward to a continued (and increasing) patrol presence in Beat 13Y.

 

#1 NH NCPC requests that OPD observe the Montclair Mart area on Broadway Terrace
(near the intersection with Highway 13), between 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays
(on-street drinking) during the month of June, 2008.
 
Reason for priority:  Apparently teenagers and young adults, and adults are
congregating at the Montclair Mart itself, and then drinking in
their cars right in front of the Mart.

 

#2 NH NCPC requests that OPD observe the Montclair Mart area on Broadway Terrace
(near the intersection with Highway 13), between 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. on weekend days
during the month of June, 2008. 

 

Reason for priority:   The area across the street from the Montclair Mart is being
utilized as an informal used-car lot, resulting in considerable loitering, and
possible casing of homes in the area.  Action requested: remove the cars for sale
from the street.

 

#1. (Traffic) NH NCPC requests that the OPD Traffic Division place a traffic officer,
for the purpose of ticketing for speeding, on Mountain Blvd. (North of Thornhill to
Duncan/Florence Terrace), and/or on Duncan (from the intersection of Mountain Boulevard
to Broadway Terrace) during the weekday hours of 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (northbound traffic)
and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (northbound traffic) at least twice a week during the month
of June 2008. 

 

Reason for priority: Uncontrolled speeding during these hours on these streets.

 

ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC PRIORITIES:

 

#1. NH NCPC requests that the OPD Traffic Division continue to place a traffic speed
monitor trailer, on Mountain Blvd. (North of Thornhill to Duncan), and/or on Duncan
(from the intersection of Mountain Boulevard to Broadway Terrace) during the weekday
hours of 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (northbound traffic) and 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. (northbound
traffic) during the month of June 2008.  Coordinate with CEDA Transportation Services
Division (Joe Wang) to transfer data from trailer to TSD. 

 

Reason for priority: Uncontrolled speeding during these hours on these streets.

 

#2. NH NCPC requests that the OPD Traffic Division place a traffic officer, for the
purpose of ticketing for speeding, on Hiller Drive during the weekday hours of 8 a.m.
to 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at least twice a week during the month of June 2008.
 
Reason for priority: Uncontrolled speeding during these hours on these streets.

 

CEDA TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DIVISION PRIORITIES:

 

#1. NH NCPC requests that the CEDA Transportation Services Division evaluate possible traffic
calming possibilities for the following streets during the month of June, 2008:


 Mountain Boulevard (north of Thornhill Drive to Florence Terrace)
 Mountain Boulevard (north of Florence Terrace to Pinewood)
 Florence Terrace (between Mountain Boulevard and Duncan Way)
 Duncan Way (between Florence Terrace and Broadway Terrace)

 

Reason for priority: Uncontrolled speeding during data-collection hours on these streets.

 

#2. NH NCPC requests that the CEDA Transportation Services Division re-install delineators
the corner of Alhambra Way and Thornhill Drive during the month of June, 2008. 

 

Reason for priority: Uncontrolled parking on Thornhill Drive at Alhambra Way.

 

# 3 NH NCPC requests CEDA Transportation Services Division evaluate the Gateway Emergency
Preparedness Exhibit Center area to determine the appropriate configuration of no-parking
signage after park hours during the month of June, 2008. 

 

Reason for priority:  Apparently teenagers and young adults are congregating at the
Gateway Emergency Preparedness Exhibit Center (Hiller/Caldecott Lane/Tunnel Road).  There
is evidence that indicate smoking in a dangerous fire area, littering, and physical damage
to the facility.  Further, there is suspicion that the park is being utilized as a drop-off
/pick-up location for goods.  Persons who appear not to know each other, meet, exchange goods
are utilizing the off-road parking just above the park, where money is exchanged.  By
establishing the no-parking zones at the Park during the non-park hours, the enforcement
configuration of the overall area is improved.

 

# 4 NH NCPC requests CEDA Transportation Services Division evaluate the bottom section of
Alvarado Road for traffic control device replacement during the month of June, 2008. 

 

Reason for priority:  Apparently there is an increase in traffic on this road that has
damaged/removed roadway reflectors on this stretch.  This has seemingly increased the
danger for vehicular traffic.  The evaluation area is from 1227 Alvarado Road and the
six curves to east until it joins Claremont Avenue.

 

PARKING ENFORCEMENT PRIORITY:

 

#1. NH NCPC requests that the City of Oakland Parking Enforcement the following three
areas above 24:
 6900 block of Bristol Drive (residents routinely parking on no-parking side of street)
 From 6963 to 7001 Buckingham Boulevard (three homes under construction
 The 6700-6800 block of Charing Cross Road (especially 6700 under construction)
These areas need to be patrolled at least two times a week during the day hours, and two
times a week during the early evening hours during the month of June, 2008.

 

Reason for priority: Uncontrolled parking during these hours on these streets.  This is
due to illegal construction vehicle parking, and also due to residents/visitors parking illegally.
