(No County match required)
BACKGROUND:
San Pablo Avenue, between Rivers Street and Hilltop Drive, functions as a high-speed arterial. It also serves as the
main connection for local trips between northern San Pablo residential neighborhoods, central San Pablo, Hilltop
Mall, Contra Costa College and other important destinations. The corridor lacks designated facilities for pedestrians
and bicyclists, creating a very challenging environment for walking, bicycling and transit use. Despite these
conditions,

Subject:Interagency Agreement #28-843 with the City of San Pablo
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
people walk and bike the corridor every day. Future changes to surrounding land uses will likely generate even more
need for walkable, safe and accessible neighborhoods along the corridor. The San Pablo Avenue Complete Streets
Study will focus on improving multimodal access, safety and connections along the San Pablo corridor by identifying
needs and prioritizing improvements that will facilitate pedestrian, bicycle and transit trips. At the heart of this
process is a public outreach effort that will bring together surrounding residents, business owners, partner agencies,
and other key stakeholders to ensure that the final plan recommendations are both relevant to, and supported by, the
local community. The project team will translate the input into conceptual alternatives easily understood by the public
and present them to the community in a second workshop for consideration and discussion. At the third and final
community workshop participants will respond to refined alternatives and specific design details helping lead to a
final preferred plan for the corridor. The team is equipped to conduct workshops in both Spanish and English as
needed.
Approval of this Interagency Agreement #28-843 will provide funding to allow County to conduct trainings,
workshops and outreach services to community organizations, residents, stakeholders, city staff and consultants
through June 30, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funding to implement improving multimodal access, safety
and connections along the San Pablo corridor by identifying needs and prioritizing improvements.
