RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the plans and RATIFY the Public Works Director’s prior direction to Contra Costa County Public Works Maintenance crews to install approximately 0.3 miles of bikeway along Blum Road (Road No. 3887A) from Imhoff Drive (Road No. 3887F) to Pacheco Boulevard (Road No. 3951C), Pacheco area. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact related to this Board action. The project was completed in 2022 and funded by Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

On July 12, 2016, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2016/374 supporting the adoption of complete streets in the County and approving the Complete Streets Policy of Contra Costa County. Pursuant to the policy, all departments and agencies of Contra Costa County shall work towards making complete streets practices a routine part of everyday operations; approach every relevant project, program, and practice as an opportunity to improve streets and the transportation networks for all categories of users/modes; and work in coordination with other departments, agencies, and jurisdictions to maximize opportunities for complete streets, connectivity, and cooperation.

In the summer of 2022, Contra Costa County Maintenance crews restriped Blum Road after completing a pavement resurfacing along the road to incorporate complete streets elements. The striping incorporated class II bikeways (bike lanes) and class III bikeways (shared lane markings) from Imhoff Drive to Pacheco Boulevard. Approval of the striping plan is needed to formalize the changes to striping along Blum Road.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Striping to incorporate bikeways along Blum Road from Imhoff Drive to Pacheco Boulevard would not be approved.
