In response to the death of Castlemont educator Marvin Boomer due to a high-speed collision, residents from the Clinton neighborhood petitioned the Oakland Department of Transportation for speed bumps on East 21st Street and 12th Avenue. They gathered support from at least 67% of the residents, citing concerns over dangerous driving patterns that threaten children's safety. The community, deeply affected by the tragedy, included local leaders and individuals who rushed to assist Boomer, highlighting an urgent push for improved street safety measures in light of recent events.
High-speed driving causing accidents and deaths, dangerous for children and people walking with dogs, said petitioners advocating for speed bumps following the tragic death of educator Marvin Boomer.
District 2 Councilmember Charlene Wang joined residents in pushing for safety improvements, acknowledging the rare but essential proactive stance of the neighborhood in seeking changes to prevent further tragedies.
