Powell / Christie Quick-Build Pedestrian Safety Improvements Active

Published on August 18, 2026

 

The City of Emeryville has activated new pedestrian safety improvements at Powell Street and Christie Avenue.

The southbound Christie Avenue approach now includes an electronic No Right Turn on Red / Yield to Pedestrians sign and a 10-second Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI). The LPI gives pedestrians a head start before vehicles receive a green light, while the sign helps manage turning conflicts at the crosswalk.

A similar treatment is planned for the eastbound approach in October 2026.

Pedestrian safety at Powell Street and Christie Avenue has been a long-standing priority for the City and its Transportation and Sustainability Committee, and has appeared on the Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee's annual priority list since at least 2016. The intersection was also identified as a collision hotspot through the City's Active Transportation Plan and Local Roadway Safety Plan.

The Local Roadway Safety Plan found that approximately 60 percent of pedestrian collisions citywide occurred while pedestrians were crossing in a crosswalk at an intersection and recommends treatments such as Leading Pedestrian Intervals and No Right Turn on Red restrictions.

These improvements put those recommendations into practice and are part of the City's ongoing effort to improve pedestrian safety at priority locations.

Published on August 12, 2026

The new streets with updated speed limits include:

15 mph on portions of 45th St., 47th St./Steve Dain Dr., 59th St., 61st St., 62nd St., Doyle St., Overland Ave. and Stanford Ave.
20 mph on portions of 66th St., 67th St., Adeline St., Beaudry St., Halleck St., Hollis St., Peladeau St., Shellmound St. and Vallejo St.
25 mph on Powell St. from Emery Cove Yacht Harbor to Frontage Rd.
These changes are part of Emeryville’s ongoing effort to make streets safer for everyone, especially people walking and biking.

RCCD Artist-in-Residence: Jasmine Singh

Published on July 21, 2026

 

Between Us is a six-week community portrait residency built around liminality: the in-between states of time, space, and identity we all move through, often without naming them. Each week's theme sits somewhere on that spectrum: what we're carrying, where we come from, and who we've become. In partnership with ECAP, the Emeryville Senior Center, and Big Daddy's Community Garden, the portrait studio also travels into spaces already rooted in this community - honoring the people who hold it together. Every portrait accumulates into one collective installation at the closing show - revealing patterns of care, uncertainty, resilience, and connection, and reinforcing the idea that none of us move through these liminal moments alone.  

Interested in getting a free portrait? Check out Jasmine's website for more information. https://www.jasmine-singh-rosado.com/betweenusabout

Gallery Hours:
Thursday to Sunday
1 PM to 6 PM
