Petition to Councilmember Dick Spees & Oakland Traffic Engineering

RE: AC Transit Bus 53 Stops on lower Lincoln


The new bus line 53 route on Lincoln Avenue runs through our neighborhood but does not serve it well because there are no bus stops for a distance of almost a mile on the lower part of Lincoln.

We, Oakland residents near the lower part of Lincoln Avenue, request that bus stops be designated on both sides of Lincoln at the stop signs at Hearst (in front of Sequoia School) and also, if possible, at the stop signs at Tiffin. Because of the stop signs, bus stops at these locations would not further impede traffic seriously.

Designation of these bus stops will enhance public safety and the quality of life in our neighborhood by making public transit conveniently accessible to children, the elderly, commuters, and other residents who cannot drive or would prefer not to do so when possible, especially those who cannot easily or safely walk up to the next current stop or down to MacArthur.
