PARKAMBASSADOR
The Emeryville Community Services Department announced the launch of its Park Ambassador Program, a community-driven initiative aimed at enhancing the experience and safety of visitors to the city’s parks The program, which officially began last summer, reflected the city’s commitment to fostering a welcoming and well-maintained environment in its public spaces.
KEY GOALS:
1.
Enhancing Visitor Experience: Park Ambassadors provided information about park amenities, events, and activities, helping visitors make the most of their time in the parks.
3.
2. Encouraging Community Engagement: By interacting with park-goers, Ambassadors fostered a sense of community and encouraged the responsible use of park resources
4.
Promoting Safety: Ambassadors helped maintain a safe environment by being vigilant and reporting any safety concerns or issues to the appropriate authorities.
Supporting Park Maintenance: While not directly responsible for maintenance, Ambassadors helped monitor the condition of park facilities and reported any necessary repairs or maintenance needs to the city’s maintenance team.

SPEED LIMITS
On July 2, the City Council approved reduced speed limits on 6 Emeryville streets. Lower speed limits increase safety for all people driving, walking, and biking. The the following street segments will have new posted speeds:
Hollis Street (from 67th Street to Powell St): 25 mph
Horton Street (from 62nd Street to 40th Street): 15 mph
Christie Avenue (from 65th Street to Powell Street): 20 mph
65th Street (from Hollis Street to Vallejo Street): 20 mph
53rd Street (from Horton Street to San Pablo Avenue): 15 mph
Park Avenue (from San Pablo Avenue to Halleck Avenue): 20 mph
The City is able to change speed limits after completing speed surveys, which were completed earlier this year Additionally, under AB 43, the City is able to set lower speed limits in areas with high pedestrian and bicycle traffic, schools, senior centers, parks, and other areas where vulnerable road users are present. Proposed changes in speed limits for street segments were recommended based on new traffic patterns, increased pedestrian and bicycle activity, and other relevant factors considered under the latest AB 43 guidelines. The remaining corridors surveyed will maintain their existing speed limits No corridors were proposed for raising the speed limit.
Keep an eye out for new speed limit signs in the next four months on these 6 streets.
Emeryville is located near the Emeryville Crescent State Marine Reserve, a peaceful spot for birdwatching and enjoying the b ’ natural beauty.
