THE ULTIMATE CONFIGURATION
Results of Supervisor Mary Piepo's Community Meeting Monday, May 12

E-Mail Response of Alamo Improvement Association to AIA Members

County Supervisor Mary Piepho's community meeting on Monday, May 12, was attended by 70 to 80 Alamo residents who made it clear to the Supervisor that they did not want implementation of the County's long proposed, "Danville Boulvrd/Stone Valley Road Intersection Improvements", aka the Ultimate Configruation.

Supervisor Piepho promised the crowd she would work with the Tri-Valley Transportation Coucil (TVTC) and its staff technical advisory group to try to get the Danville Boulevard/Stone Valley project removed from tnhe newly created list of TVTC projects. The projects are authorized for funding with fees collected from Tri-Valley developers to mitigate impacts of traffic generated by new development in existing communities like Alamo.

County staff of the departments of Community Development and Public Works explained that the Danville Boulvrd/Stone Valley Road project would help the congested intersection to meet traffic-moving objectives that the County is trying to attain. Alamo residents responded that they would rather have traffic move at a slower pace through the intersection than to have the intersection wideded, allowing more freeway traffic onto Alamo roads.

The County is under pressure to meet objectives to move traffic according to specified, measurable criteria in order to receive its full funding return from the half cent sales tax for transportation in Contra Costa County.

If a project is authorized for TVTC funding, the County is also at risk to lose some of its half cent sales tax revenue if TVTC developer fees become available and the County does not implement the project. Opponents of the project maintain that the County would not forego the revenue and would implement the project when funding becomes available as long as it remains on the TVTC project list.

Supervisor Piepho said she would get back to the community about how the project might be removed from the TVTC project list as soon as she is able to get feedback in that regard from the TVTC technical advisory group.

AIA thanks Supervisor Piepho for her quick response to this issue, which is very important to Alamo citizens.

  Alamoca.org Gets A Second New Look
  Once again, our site will look a little different to you. We are working on providing you a site that educates you about the AIA and the projects that come across our blotter.

The previous design ran into some technical difficulties that this design addresses and fixes. It is only a small beginning to what we have planned to list here including agendas and various updates on our committees and what is currently happeing in Alamo. We will also do our best to add in some community information as well.
