Project
Proposal to install a pedestrian scramble (all-way crossing signal with diagonal crosswalks) at the dangerous six-way intersection of College and Claremont avenues, modeled on Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing, along with expanded pedestrian corners and potential public art. Both Berkeley and Oakland exploring quick fixes; community meeting process underway.

“You don't feel a connectedness across the College and Claremont Avenue intersection at all; it feels like different districts. It would be very cool if people were freely crossing in all directions through that space; almost like the movement of the pedestrians would knit together the disparate corners of it.”2026_01 - Sarah Rich, co-owner of Local Economy
“Rockridge should insert what is called a pedestrian scramble.”2026_01 - RCPC Land Use Chair Thomas Lollini article
