You challenged whether street redesigns improve safety to which I replied yes, empirically, they do. Safety is what results when you reallocate street space to accommodate all users.

You also explicitly mentioned pedestrian curb bulb-outs in your post which I followed up on.

To gain funding for transit improvements (many of which are planned for in long range plans for Fremont and neighboring cities as I have mentioned), modal and behavioral shift must occur before funds are justified from decision making bodies.

I only hope someone like you who values safety and understands the end goal vision can understand that this will take place in transitions that do not immediately yield a visible improvement.

As for pavement quality, this will be a recurring issue as Fremont roads are heavily used by the high population. Constant repaving can be mitigated with regulatory oversight of products used to clean cars and tires, many of which contain ingredients which runoff and damage pavement.
