At the July 28, 2025 BPAC Policy and Legislative Committee meeting, Liza Lutzker will present on “Examining the Safety-Safety Dilemma: Preliminary Findings from a Study of Conflicts between Safe Streets Improvements and Emergency Response”.
Cities across the United States (U.S.) are encountering mounting tensions between efforts to improve street infrastructure for pedestrian and bicyclist safety (e.g., protected bike lanes, speed tables) and concerns from fire departments that such changes can impede emergency response and evacuation. However, emergency response and street safety need not be incompatible goals. Cities across the U.S. are developing innovative solutions, addressing the physical, institutional, and cultural roots of these conflicts.
Under a grant from the US Department of Transportation and the Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety, our UC Berkeley team is completing an exploratory research project to better understand the roots of conflicts and innovative means of overcoming conflicts.

At the July 3, 2025 BPAC Infrastructure Committee meeting, OakDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Program staff will present draft recommendations for a Slow Streets network in Oakland. Slow Streets were initially an OakDOT innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide physically distanced outdoor spaces for residents. Staff are taking lessons learned from the pandemic and applying them to Oakland’s work-to-date developing bike boulevards and neighborhood bike routes (NBRs). Staff are proposing these routes be re-envisioned as slow streets for travel at human-powered speeds while simultaneously making these streets more welcoming for residents to use as public spaces. The presentation explains the purpose, planning criteria, and methodology for developing the draft Slow Streets network. View the interactive web map of the draft Slow Streets network.
