    Alameda A Geographical History by Imelda Merlin Friends of the Alameda Free Library Alameda Museum Alameda, California 1 Copyright, 1977 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 77-73071 Cover picture: Fernside Oaks, Cohen Estate, ca. 1900. 2 FOREWORD My initial purpose in writing this book was to satisfy a partial requirement for a Master’s Degree in Geography from the University of California in Berkeley. But, fortunate is the student who enjoys the subject of his research. This slim volume is essentially the original manuscript, except for minor changes in the interest of greater accuracy, which was approved in 1964 by Drs. James Parsons, Gunther Barth and the late Carl Sauer. That it is being published now, perhaps as a response to a new awareness of and interest in our past, is due to the efforts of the “Friends of the Alameda Free Library” who have made a project of getting my thesis into print. I wish to thank the members of this organization and all others, whose continued interest and perseverance have made this publication possible. Imelda Merlin April, 1977 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writer wishes to acknowledge her indebtedness to the many individuals and institutions who gave substantial assistance in assembling much of the material treated in this thesis. Particular thanks are due to Dr. Clarence J. Glacken for suggesting the topic. The writer also greatly appreciates the interest and support rendered by the staff of the Alameda Free Library, especially Mrs. Hendrine Kleinjan, reference librarian, and Mrs. Myrtle Richards, curator of the Alameda Historical Society. The Engineers’ and other departments at the Alameda City Hall supplied valuable maps an information on the historical development of the city.

She was my second celebrity encounter since moving back to Northern California last year, the first being a certain celebrity chef cutting me off on Highway 12. I later learned that Ms. Hedren’s appearance is an annual tradition, and that some of the money she makes from it goes to support her extensive charity work. Though I’ve never seen the film in its entirety, I learned the story through multiple trips to the restaurant and the Saint Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega. Even I, who spent the majority of my life in Middle Tennessee, feel local pride knowing these beautiful places are immortalized in such a loved and influential film.

This project will address high crash locations while creating a more comfortable space for travel through the following changes: • Installing “No Turn on Red” signs at approximately 50 intersections • Lowering speed limits on 17 corridors from 25 MPH to 20 MPH Pending project approvals, implementation could begin as early as March 2020. Why lower speed limits to 20 MPH in the Tenderloin? • Vehicle speed is the largest predictor of injury severity • A pedestrian struck at 20 MPH is 2x more likely to survive than someone struck at 25 MPH • Speed Surveys indicate current travel speeds warrant lowering the speed limit to 20 MPH Why prohibit turns on red in the Tenderloin? • Turn-related crashes occur more often in the Tenderloin than other neighborhoods • Turn on red prohibitions can reduce vehicle-pedestrian and vehicle-bicycle conflicts and increase safety for all • Fewer vehicles entering the crosswalk on a red light can increase comfort for pedestrians For general project information and updates, we invite you to visit the project website at https://www.sfmta.com/projects/tenderloin- traffic-safety-improvements or email the project team at [email protected].
