Transit Hub Project Coming To Martinez
Project that will include a bus transfer station and facilities for bikes is expected to break ground by September.
It could cost more than $1.5 million, but Martinez city leaders think that's worth it to build a new transit hub near Highway 4 — and apparently the County agrees.
According to the background report prepared by City Engineer Tim Tucker: "The proposed project involves the reconstruction of the existing park & ride facility located in the northwest area of the I-680/SR-4 interchange on Blum Road in Pacheco (unincorporated Contra Costa County). Improvements and upgrading of the existing park & ride will include expansion, repaving, restriping, facilities for bicycles, lighting, landscaping, and the construction of a bus transit transfer facility ("transit hub"). This project will comply with ADA requirements."
City Manager Philip Vince expects the project could break ground as soon as late August or early September and take 9-10 months to complete.
The budget for the project is $2,600,196 — money which has already been secured by the Contra Costa County Transit Authority. Reports state "No City funds will be used for this project."
