Why This Vote Matters

The council approved a $2.2 million contract with Bay Cities Paving and Grading to build the first section of the Central Richmond Greenway, a new bicycle and pedestrian trail that will eventually connect neighborhoods across the city. The contract covers initial construction of what will become a longer greenway system. The council voted 5-2 to approve the contract, with Councilmembers Bates and Griffin voting against it. This marks an unusual departure for both members, who typically vote to approve city contracts.
