Appropriate $70,000 to design emergency evacuation road for Hilltop Green
In Plain English
The city lacks an emergency evacuation route from Hilltop Green neighborhood. Richmond would pay $70,000 for design and project management of a new evacuation road that crosses private property in both Richmond and Pinole. If approved, Contra Costa County covers the remaining $230,000 construction cost through Measure X funding.
