The city of Newark, CA marketed the "Bayside Transit Oriented Development (TOD)" formerly known as "The Dumbarton Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)", as a proposed neighborhood that will provide a broad range of new housing, retail and business opportunities in Western Newark.
Over the last 3 years, 600+ new residents have moved into the Bayshores, Glassbay, Lighthouse and the Bridgeway developments believing the city's vision.
Speeding trucks and cars have already caused accidents in the neighborhood.
Before a fatal accident, the residents of these communities petition the City of Newark, CA to fulfill their marketed promise to the residents and increase safety measures throughout the Newark Bayside TOD.
Specific requests:
1) Install necessary signage (on Willow and Central Ave) for bypass trucks to avoid the residential neighborhood
Trucks that use Newark as a bypass in order to skip traffic on 880 or as a cut off to 84, to avoid this residential neighborhood.
2) Instruct FedEx trucks going to 8333 Central Ave to avoid Willow St
Speeding FedEx trucks going to Cabot Ct have already caused 2 accidents.
The city should instruct FedEx trucks to get to 8333 Central Ave via Central Ave.
3) Install MUTCD compliant Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons on Willow St crossing at Seawind Way
Pedestrians: bicyclists, families and seniors crossing Willow St at Seawind Way encounter speeding cars coming from Central Ave or Enterprise Drive.
By installing Rapid-Flashing beacons, pedestrians can ensure speeding motorists can see the crosswalk day or night.
As the city has decided that the roundabouts are here to stay in this neighborhood, the residents request the city to increase safety measures in this neighborhood.

The feedback I have gathered from neighbors confirms that these traffic concerns are affecting everyone who lives within the Bayside development. I am currently organizing these testimonials to present a clear picture of the situation to city officials during our upcoming planning discussions.

FedEx trucks in this route are pretty ignorant and drive at high speeds often bumping the curbs, tailgate cars, and completely ignore pedestrians on road. Please help us improve road safety.
Please make this a safe neighborhood. I’m scared to cross the street when I’m out for a walk with my baby. The trucks (and also cars) are driving way too fast, not caring about pedestrians. Please reroute truck traffic and consider speed bumps as well for overall safety. Thanks.
We live In the glass bay community. There’s a mini earthquake every time a truck passes by. They drive pretty aggressively and sometimes rocks fall off from the truck. It is so dangerous for the residents. Please find a solution.
The City of Newark should take actions in this regard. They approved thousands of homes in this part of the city without planning the necessary infrastructure and safety measures to be taken. Large Trucks in a Residential Area is a BIG NO.
Semi trucks through round-abouts is a very bad design. All Trucks should avoid these routes which constantly cause noise problems and a huge inconvenience for the residential neighborhood

I am personal victim of the FedEx trucks near the willow and seawind way roundabout. The FedEx trucks have a tendency to not stop for through traffic creating a scenario of big accident.
