WOBO and Traffic Violence Rapid Response (oakrapidresponse.org) have been helping Oakland residents submit proposals to make their streets safer! Through Community-Led Traffic Safety, an Oakland Department of Transportation pilot program, residents can suggest curb extensions, traffic circles, and daylighting to slow car speeds and make streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

In the Glenview neighborhood, residents submitted a proposal for curb extensions near Glenview Elementary School, and it was approved. We are thrilled to be part of this effort to make streets safer for students and their families. We need your help with this installation!

Sign up to join the volunteer list for this installation or to be informed about future CLTS projects at tinyurl.com/cltsvolunteer. To learn more about the program, check out wobo.org/campaigns/clts. We are helping folks throughout Oakland suggest safety changes through CLTS, and more installations will happen soon!

We are already looking towards Bike to Wherever Day 2027, and we want to hear from YOU! BTWD is a celebration of biking throughout the Bay Area--every second Thursday in May, we celebrate biking as a fun, healthy commute option—and inspire non-cyclists to give it a try.

WOBO has celebrated the joy of riding through the Town by hosting "Pedal Pools" to our morning Pancake Breakfast at Frank Ogawa Plaza (Oakland City Hall). In collaboration with Bike East Bay, we toasted the end of an active day at Old Oakland Happy Hour, welcoming over 500 riders throughout the day at these events.

If you participated in previous events, what did you enjoy? If you didn't take part in the 2026 BTWD events, what were the barriers to your participation, and what would you like to see in the future? Take 2 minutes and share your thoughts with the survey at https://forms.gle/XgNybFydPE4PAD258.

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.

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.
