February 18 Meeting
Market Street Linear Park
Jeff Rogers returns. He is working on Statewide Park Program grant application. He asked us to fill out a survey to rank importance of park features such as water fountains, emergency call boxes, etc. The listed ideas are what he has gotten from the community. He will "put an application with the best shot at getting funded", and with the "goal to give the community what they want". Jeff will finalize the application by next Thursday, so get your ideas to him by then.
Trail Site Walking Tour
Dave will lead a walking tour of the trail site on Sunday Feb. 28 at 2 PM. We'll meet where the trail crosses Mayette Ave. In case of rain, we'll reschedule the tour for Mar. 7.

January 21 Meeting
Special guests were Ray Kuzbari, Transportation Manager for City of Concord and Jeff Rogers, Civil Engineer for the City of Concord. They presented an update on the Monument Corridor Pedestrian and Bikeway Network Improvements. See my previous blog entries for the map and description, and status of funding. Ray gave out copies of the map and the Shared Roadway Bicycle Marking for the Class III Bikeway (see graphic). The design is scheduled for 2010, and after securing some clearances, construction is to begin in 2012.
Jeff presented on the opportunity for grant funding to extend the Class I Bikeway from Mayette Ave. to the pedestrian tunnel under highway 242. The grant application to the 2006 Proposition 84 Statewide Park Program is due by March 1, and six months later we will know if we are funded. The city already owns the right-of-way along the storage facility and the public sidewalk on Market St. up to the tunnel. The north side of the tunnel connects to Franquette Ave and Willow Pass Road.
The grant application needs input from the community on this new linear park and new recreation opportunity. This meeting was a Community Forum on the Monument Corridor Shared Use Trail. Twenty-six attended this forum representing Health & Safety Action Team, Community Gardens Action Team, MCP Community Listeners, La Clínica Monument, and Go Get It! after school youth program. They gave their ideas and suggestion to help define the linear park's recreational use. Wes Laubscher's great suggestion was for us to go walk the trail site.
Jeff will return to the February 18 meeting and share his narrative for the grant application.
