Did you know that the Oakland Department of Transportation is planning to repave Foothill Blvd from 23rd Ave to Fruitvale Ave in 2028? The City needs your feedback to help design the paving project!

Foothill Blvd in East Oakland is a vital corridor for folks walking, taking the bus, driving, and biking. However, between 2019 and 2025, there were 87 crashes and 5 deaths on this segment of Foothill Blvd. OakDOT has already added some safety improvements, but a new project is coming--both to add more safety features and to repave the uneven street surface.

Later this month, OakDOT will share a public survey to understand how community members travel on Foothill and what safety improvements are most needed. Sign up to receive email updates about this project, and you will be notified when the survey is live! Sign up at tinyurl.com/foothillsafety to help shape East Oakland streets and make them safer for all road users.

Do you have your tickets for WOBO's community movie screening yet? On Sunday, September 20th, we'll be hosting a screening of"The Street Project", which shares the stories of safe streets advocates in Arizona and New York. The documentary is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer.

We're excited to be joined by D3 Councilmember Fife, who will welcome attendees and provide opening remarks. After the screening, WOBO President Chris Hwang will host a discussion with safe streets advocates Tonya Love and Carter Lavin.

We will discuss the roots of traffic violence and how Oakland plays host to some of the most effective advocacy for safe streets. Your ticket buys you entry and popcorn. The New Parkway also sells beverages and other food for purchase. You may pay it forward by purchasing a ticket for other attendees.

Over the weekend of June 27th, WOBO had a fantastic time hosting the final event in our Ride Like a Girl workshop series: the bike camping trip! We welcomed 23 campers, who chose to ride 9, 30, or 45 miles to Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont.

Ride leaders helped campers navigate, take breaks, and stop along the way to pick up ingredients for dinner and breakfast. For most of the participants, it was their first time bike camping! We are so grateful to have had so many folks join us for this educational event.

There are no permanent bike shops between Laurel Cyclery and San Leandro--but the Oakland Public Library is on a mission to change this. Every Wednesday and Friday at two different OPL Branches, library mechanics teach community members how to repair their own bikes by providing parts, tools, and guidance.

The Bike Fix began in 2014 as a collaboration between OPL and the The Original Scraper Bike Team, and since then, has developed into a regular community gathering. This resource is funded by the Oakland Department of Transportation and Walk Oakland Bike Oakland.

Find the Bike Fix on Wednesdays at the Martin Luther King Jr. Branch, and on Fridays at the 81st Ave Library Branch. Both sessions are from 2:30-5 PM. Bring a bike in need of repair, and the Bike Fix Mechanics can get you rolling again!

Have you explored the San Leandro Creek Trail? Don't let its name confuse you--it is a trail in East Oakland, meant to transform the creek from a place of dumping and other unwanted activities to a community asset where Deep East Oakland residents can access quality green space, as well as biking and pedestrian trails.

The Trail has been planned--and funded--to stretch 1.2 miles from Sobrante Park to Hegenberger Road, creating a connection to the Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline. However, due to reluctance from the Union Pacific Railroad to grant right of way, only part of the trail has been constructed. Plus, on either side of the Trail, crosswalks still need to be cut and painted! This is especially needed at Hegenberger Rd, where there is no convenient and safe way to cross six lanes of traffic.

To help this project proceed, find your Oakland City Council member at tinyurl.com/oakcouncil. Ask them to push the City's legal department to sign the license agreement with Alameda County — and to get those crosswalks cut and painted at 98th Ave and Hegenberger Rd! East Oakland residents shouldn't have to wait any longer for connected and beautiful natural spaces.
