Brentwood, CA- The Contra Costa County Public Works Department is seeking public input for the Vasco Road Corridor Safety Improvements Study.
This study aims to identify and address issues related to safety, traffic, roadway infrastructure, and environmental concerns to develop a list of prioritized projects for the Vasco Road corridor, which stretches from Marsh Creek Road to the Contra Costa County /Alameda County line. The recommended projects will employ proven safety countermeasures and innovative designs while being cost-effective, environmentally sensitive, and in alignment with the safety goals of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Possible improvements may include centerline and edge line rumble strips, concrete median barriers, widened shoulders, new passing and no passing lanes, lighting, and speed feedback signs.
The Study will build on existing safety improvement efforts already planned or underway on Vasco Road. The Project Team is committed to collaborating with residents and members of the public by gathering valuable feedback through three (3) community workshops, which can be attended in-person or virtually, as well as through surveys.
The first workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6. 2025 from 6:30 – 7:30 pm at the Brentwood Senior Activity Center, located at 193 Griffith Lane, Brentwood, CA 94513. Those wishing to attend virtually can join us on Teams at https://bit.ly/3E5OQH4.
This is a unique opportunity to help us transform Vasco Road into a safer and more efficient regional connector by reducing congestion and enhancing access to employment opportunities. We hope you can join us! For more information about this study, visit www.contracosta.ca.gov/Vasco-Road-Corridor-Safety-Improvements
