Oakland seeks feedback on its ‘Slow Streets’ program

Oakland city officials are asking the community to provide feedback on its plans for expanding the “Oakland Slow Streets” program it announced this month to make neighborhood streets safer to walk and bicycle during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order.

The city plans to eventually close 74 miles of city streets, which represent nearly 10 percent of all streets, to through traffic while the shelter-in-place order remains in effect.
