Aug. 21 last day to comment on El Cerrito safety plan that includes speed limit changes, speed humps, adding bike lanes and removing parking, bus-only lanes

Reminder that today (Aug. 21, 2026)  is the last day to comment on the draft of the El Cerrito Local Road Safety Plan, which seeks to reduce the number of crashes, particularly fatal ones. 

Possible strategies include:

- Use quick-build, economical approaches and exemption to the city’s parking removal appeal process;

- Enforce a 25-mile per hour maximum speed citywide;

-Add speed humps and the wider, flatter speed tables;

-Expand bike lanes by removing parking;

-Add mid-block crosswalks, and flashing beacons at crosswalks;

-Encouage class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes and other legal mobility devices on all bikeways, while addressing reckless riding; and,

-Bus-only lanes on San Pablo Avenue
