Accept $241,000 state grant for downtown Point Richmond bike and pedestrian improvements
In Plain English
The city won this grant in 2021 to improve bike lanes and sidewalks in downtown Point Richmond but delayed starting the project due to staff shortages. The West Contra Costa Transportation Commission recently reconfirmed the funding is still available. If approved, the city can begin designing safer routes for cyclists and pedestrians in the downtown area.
