City to Host Amtrak Parking Project Meeting

From the City of Martinez Engineering Department:

You are invited to participate in a project kickoff meeting to discuss parking and access enhancements for the Martinez Amtrak station.

The city has received funding from the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to construct a new parking facility north of the railroad tracks to provide additional parking while conforming to the two existing buildings currently in use. 

The project will also include the design of a future vehicular bridge linking Berrellessa Street to the project site, a new entrance road from Ferry Street/Joe Dimaggio Drive, and a pedestrian bridge crossing the railroad tracks that connects to the existing Amtrak station.

For more information contact Joe Enke at the City of Martinez: (925) 372-3524, jenke@cityofmartinez.org.

What: Meeting to discuss parking and access enhancements for the Martinez Amtrak station
When: Thursday, July 19, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
