There is no impact to the County General fund.
The City of Concord (City) received a Hazard Elimination Safety Federal grant to construct traffic safety related projects. The City constructed improvements at the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s Station and Training Center/Station No. 10 on Treat Blvd. in Concord. The improvements consisted of the installation of a traffic signal, video detection cables for pre-emption of the new traffic signal, with an exclusive pre-emption button inside the fire station installed for the Treat Blvd. and fire station driveway crossings. The fire station driveway was redone to meet required ADA compliance and pedestrian push buttons for the crossing at Treat Blvd. and the fire station driveway. The easement that will be granted to the City will allow for the operation, maintenance and access to the traffic signal equipment which is located on the County’s property.
The City will not have the access rights needed to reach their facilities in order to maintain them.
