City to Host Amtrak Parking Project Meeting

A new parking facility planned for the Martinez Amtrak station will be the topic of discussion at a public meeting Thursday evening.

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.
Where: Council chambers,

See attached flyer for details of the project plan.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More

The city is no longer paying for juror parking. In other words, juror or not, if your meter hasRead More expired, you pay.
