As part of the recently approved Capital Improvement Program, the City included $1.2 million in future improvements as part of the five-year Bike and Pedestrian Improvement Program. The program proposes a number of bicycle or pedestrian related improvements, primarily funded with new Measure K funds. The plan will continue the progressive work that staff has accomplished over the past 10 years, including constructing a number of bicycle and pedestrian related enhancements along various regional corridors (e.g. Contra Costa Boulevard, Geary Road, Buskirk Avenue, Golf Club Road, and the Contra Costa Canal Trail).
Over the next two years, the budget allocates a total of $334,000 in Measure K funds and another $598,200 in gas tax funds. Projects include traffic signal installation at Taylor Boulevard and Civic Drive, Contra Costa Canal Trail/Westover Drive crossing enhancement, Pleasant Hill Road sidewalk Project (Pleasant View Drive to Cumberland Drive),Taylor Boulevard sidewalk Project and Lucille Lane sidewalk gap closure.
