FISCAL IMPACT:
This project is funded by 52% Federal HR3 Funds, 29%.Gas Tax, and 19% Prop.1B funds
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve public safety along 1,900 feet of
roadway along Marsh Creek Road in Contra Costa County. Marsh Creek Road is a
narrow, two-lane rural collector road that is widely used by commuters as an alternate to
the heavily congested State Route 4. The road serves as a vital transportation link between
Central and East Contra Costa County for passenger vehicles, heavy trucks, and vehicles
with trailers.
The project will improve public safety along this 1,900-foot segment of road, which does
not meet current County design standards for rural roads with average daily traffic greater
than 9,000 vehicles per day. Safety improvements will entail the widening of travel lanes
from 10 feet to 12 feet and creating 8 foot shoulders (a combination of shoulder backing
and approximately 6 feet of pavement) on each side of the road. These improvements
will give motorists additional area to maneuver, recover from improper turning
movements and see around curves, thereby helping to reduce collision rates and collision
severity along the road segment. The project also involves the removal of approximately
23 trees along the roadway.
Another purpose of the proposed project is to complete a half-mile segment of the
countywide bikeway network described in the 2003 Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle
and Pedestrian Plan. The planned widening would significantly increase the room
available for bicycles and cars to share the roadway, thus improving the Class III bike
route along Marsh Creek Road.
Real property transactions and utility relocation may be necessary in support of this
project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may
jeopardize funding.
