City Asks Residents and Businesses for Feedback on Infrastructure Priorities

 

This fall, the City commissioned a Quality of Life community survey to assess resident perspectives on their quality of life, including community priorities and needs. The community identified the following as some of their top infrastructure priorities:

 

·         Repairing potholes and sidewalks

·         Maintaining and repairing public storm drains to prevent flooding and keep pollution out of the Bay

·         Maintaining the condition of neighborhood parks

·         Improving traffic safety and flow

 

Alameda has a backlog of over $200 million in repairs and maintenance to our roads, storm drains, and other infrastructure – and inadequate funding to properly maintain the condition of our 21 community and neighborhood parks. We are now asking residents and businesses to identify their top infrastructure priorities in a brief new survey. Please tell us what is important to you. Additional information and a survey link can be found online at www.alamedaca.gov/JoinTheConversation.
