In brief: Concord granted $7.9M for street lighting, safety improvements

In brief: Concord granted $7.9M for street lighting, safety improvements

CONCORD

The city of Concord has been awarded $7.9 million in grant funds from the California Transportation Department (Caltrans) to support a massive street lighting and safety improvement project. This is the largest grant allocation to any Bay Area agency from Caltrans’ recent effort to provide $225 million for projects designed to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries on city and county roads.

The funding for Concord will go toward installing new lighting, upgrading existing street and intersection lighting, installing pedestrian countdown signals, modifying signal phasing and installing three new rectangular rapid flashing beacons and four HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crossWalK) traffic signals — systems that are used to alert motorists to crossing pedestrians. Funds will also be used for upgrading uncontrolled crosswalks, installing additional bicycle safety improvements and the entire LED upgrade for city streetlights.

“We are grateful to Caltrans for recognizing the value of these projects to enhance safety in Concord,” said Mayor Laura Hoffmeister. “This funding represents a significant investment in the implementation of Concord’s Local Roadway Safety Plan, which includes various components toward the goal of achieving zero severe and fatal injuries by 2033.”

Over the last year, Concord has been successful in securing additional grants to fund its transportation safety projects. The city received $4.19 million from the One Bay Area Grant program; $2.8 million from the Active Transportation Program/Caltrans; $632,000 from Congress; and $183,000 from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
