Comprehensive Transportation Project List Public 2009 Update to the Contra Costa Countywide Transportation Plan Review Draft B 30 January 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Project List As part of the 2009 Update, the Authority has identified a variety of projects and pro‐ grams designed to carry out the strategies in the Plan. These projects run the gamut of all transportation improvements: from the widening of freeways or the extension of BART to new bicycle trails and signal coordination. The following set of projects and programs—referred to as the Comprehensive Trans‐ portation Projects List—was generated from the Action Plans, the 2007 Contra Costa CMP, MTC’s 2030 Transportation Plan, and local staff input. Authority staff has put these projects into a computer database which can be queried and reorganized for a variety of purposes. This database was, for example, used to define the “project,” and alternatives to it, for the required CEQA analysis on the 2009 Update. The following tables are organized by RTPC and then by project type. They include a short description of the projects, the primary sponsor, project status, and estimated to‐ tal project cost. 2009 Update to the Contra Costa Countywide Transportation Plan Table B.1: Comprehensive Transportation Project List: Countywide Projects Code Name Description Sponsor Status Cost Bicycle/Pedestrian 0554 I-680 Bikeway Signage I-680 Bikeway Signage: install signage for bicyclists in Contra Costa Not Begun $20,000.00 unincorporated portions of the I-680 Bikeway: Rudgear County Road to Danville Town Limits 0838 Richmond, Walnut Creek Develop a program design for a Bicycle Pavilion (a desig- BART Design and $479,000.00 & Pleasant Hill BART nated area for bike storage in lockers, racks and a bi- ROW Station Bicycle Pavilions cycle station with amenities such as seating, lighting and landscaping) and complete construction of the format at the Walnut Creek BART station.

A Title VI/Environmental Justice analysis was conducted on the Pittsburg Center Station on March 19, 2015. Per the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI Circular (Circular) 4702.1B, Title VI Requirements and Guidelines for Federal Transit Administration Recipients (October 1, 2012), the District is required to conduct a Title VI Service and Fare Equity Analysis (Title VI Equity Analysis) for the Project's proposed service and fare plan six months prior to revenue service. Accordingly, staff completed an updated Title VI Equity Analysis for the BART to Antioch (Project) service and fare plan, which evaluates whether the Project’s proposed service and fare will have a disparate impact on minority populations or a disproportionate burden on low-income populations based on the District’s Disparate Impact and Disproportionate Burden Policy (DI/DB Policy) adopted by the Board on July 11, 2013 and FTA approved Title VI service and fare methodologies.

  • 2015 Station Profiles
    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Non-Home Origins STATION PROFILES – NON-HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for selected BART stations, based on data from customers who travel to the station from non-home origins, like work, school, etc. The selected stations listed below have a sample size of at least 200 non-home origin trips: • 12th St. / Oakland City Center • Glen Park • 16th St. Mission • Hayward • 19th St. / Oakland • Lake Merritt • 24th St. Mission • MacArthur • Ashby • Millbrae • Balboa Park • Montgomery St. • Civic Center / UN Plaza • North Berkeley • Coliseum • Oakland International Airport (OAK) • Concord • Powell St. • Daly City • Rockridge • Downtown Berkeley • San Bruno • Dublin / Pleasanton • San Francisco International Airport (SFO) • Embarcadero • San Leandro • Fremont • Walnut Creek • Fruitvale • West Dublin / Pleasanton Maps for these stations are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. The maps depict non-home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday non-home origin trips, such as: • absolute number of entries and estimated non-home origin entries • access mode share • trip origin types • customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context.

    Lafayette-Orinda fire station idea scrutinized - ContraCostaTimes.com http://www.contracostatimes.com/orinda/ci_22584533/lafayette-orinda-fi... Lafayette-Orinda fire station idea scrutinized By Jennifer Modenessi Contra Costa Times Contra Costa Times Posted: ContraCostaTimes.com MARTINEZ -- County supervisors this week authorized talks between the Contra Costa and Moraga-Orinda fire districts to build and operate a joint station on the Lafayette-Orinda border but not without hearing some stinging criticism of the proposal. County leaders took turns addressing ConFire Chief Daryl Louder on Tuesday following his request for formal discussions with MOFD Chief Randy Bradley to enter a partnership in which both districts would operate a joint fire station. If approved, the station would replace ConFire's Station 16 in Lafayette and nearby MOFD Station 43 in Orinda. Supervisors ultimately decided to let Louder discuss exploring a potential partnership with Bradley, but Supervisors Karen Mitchoff and John Gioia indicated anything formal should be part of future comprehensive talks between the county and other cities. MOFD directors approved the consolidation talks at a meeting Feb. 6. Under the plan proposed by the chiefs, ConFire would tap its capital funds and reallocate money used to operate Station 16 to the new station, whose construction and operating costs would be shared evenly with MOFD. Both districts say the move could help them save $1 million each in annual operating costs. However, the savings would materialize for ConFire only if Station 16 were operating; because it isn't, the new station would actually increase costs for the district. ConFire took that aging facility offline last year because of a rat infestation and mold-contamination issues.

Major points of interest are highlighted in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS. Informational text is presented in the indented sections. There are Numbered Questions for you to answer along the way. You may write in answers next to the questions or use the optional answer sheet at the back of the booklet. Cub Scouts are encouraged to hike as much of the trail as they can, but they are not required to complete the whole 8 miles. Do your best! Older Scouts are expected to complete the entire trail in order to earn the patch. The hike is designed as a loop, starting and ending at the Del Norte BART Station, but you may jump in anywhere along the route. The trail may be hiked over multiple days; there is no time limit. If you have difficulty finding a point of interest or the answer to a question, it’s ok to skip it and move on to the next one. What you’re looking for may no longer be there. A Brief History of El Cerrito The area around present-day El Cerrito was once home to the Ohlone Indians. The first Spanish explorers, led by Pedro Fages, arrived in 1772 and set up camp alongside the “cerrito” known today as Albany Hill.
