Full 2009 meeting schedule


	Welcome! The Alamo Improvement Association is dedicated to preserving the distinctive character of Alamo. We are a resource to community members, making sure their voices are heard in government decisions. We have significant influence on government planning decisions and encourage community members to get involved in the process. This website provides valuable resources to do just that.


	AIA seeks volunteers to learn about government entities that make official decisions about Alamo roads Would you like to join with other AIA volunteers in following the decisions of four groups of elected officials that make decisions about Alamo's roads? Your role would be to receive an agenda for a monthly meeting of one of these groups -- the TWIC, the SWAT, the CCTA, or the TVTC -- and to review it for agenda items that affect Alamo. If you saw such an item, you would attend the meeting, or alternate attendance with another AIA volunteer, and report decisions made in the meeting to your fellow volunteers. > Learn how you can help your community

AIA Keeps Watch on Contra Costa Roads Plan

Mistaken Reappearance of Stone Valley Road/Danville Boulevard Intersection Improvements - aka the "Ultimate Configuration" - in 2009 Countywide Transportation Plan

Below is a letter from Brad Waite, AIA President, to the deputy director of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, which mistakenly included the Ultimate Configuration in the 2009 Countywide Transportation Plan for Contra Costa County.

March 16, 2009

Martin R. Engelmann, Deputy Executive Director
Planning, Contra Costa Transportation Authority
3478 Buskirk Avenue, Suite 100
Pleasant Hill, CA 94523

Dear Mr. Engelmann:

The Alamo Improvement Association adds the voice of its Board and Alamo community membership to the request of Contra Costa County to remove the Stone Valley Road/Danville Boulevard Intersection Improvements project from the list of five Route-Specific Actions in the draft 2009 Countywide Transportation Plan.

AIA also wants to augment the project background in the CCTA staff report. We would like to see critical information included in the staff report background – that this project was in an original draft of the Tri-Valley Transportation Council Transportation Plan and Action Plan Update but that it was strongly rejected by the Alamo community and was thereafter removed from the Plan at the request of the County.

From correspondence between the County and CCTA, it is AIA's understanding that CCTA staff never intended to include the project in the draft 2009 CCTA Countywide Transportation Plan and that it appeared there by mistake.

We thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Brad Waite, President
Alamo Improvement Association
