📋 Tender Overview
Description:Concord: Along Willow Pass Rd from Parkside Dr to Landana Dr and on Parkside Dr from Willow Pass Rd to Salvio St:
Construct a protected Class IV cycle track along Willow Pass Road and Class II bicycle lanes on Parkside Drive. Install
RRFBs and green conflict markings at a key intersection. It further fills a gap in the bicycle network that connects with
planned and funded Downtown corridor improvements and ultimately provides a bikeway connection from the
neighborhoods along the Willow Pass Road to the BART station.
The project provides vital bicycle and pedestrian connections to multiple schools, a regional trail (Contra Costa Canal
Trail), a regional train station (BART), and Downtown Concord. There are several healthcare centers, offices, churches,
and multi-family housing units located along the corridor. Over seventy-five percent of students at Mt. Diablo High, Olympic
Continuation High, and Wren Avenue Elementary qualify for Free or Reduced Price Meals. Both schools enroll students
from the low-income census tract encompassing downtown Concord (0601332800).
The project further connects to several ongoing projects that are improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the
downtown, allowing residents and students to access key downtown destinations and routes leading to the BART station. A
portion of this project is also a part of the Safe Routes to Transit Program (SR2T). This project will create an all ages and
abilities network enabling children and families to safely and confidently walk and bicycle to school..
