Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Concord public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
County Connection Transit Operations and Regional Funding
County Connection says without the regional transit measure it faces a $6.5 million shortfall and a 22% service cut — Routes 18, 28 and 315 eliminated in Concord and others reduced. Free Monument Corridor rides also lose state funding next July. BART service could even end at Concord.
PedalFest Bicycle Safety and Transit Integration Event
The city is hosting PedalFest at Baldwin Park to encourage cycling, teach families about bike safety, and show residents how to load bicycles onto County Connection buses. It's a great chance to learn more about active transportation options in Concord.
Traffic Management Center and Signal Synchronization
The city entered into an interagency agreement with CCTA and Caltrans to deploy advanced adaptive ramp metering along I-680 to reduce freeway congestion. Council members pressed officials on potential traffic backups onto city streets, drainage designs, and coordination with local adaptive traffic signals.
