City Seeks Residents to Help Develop Streets Concept Plan

Albany received a Caltrans grant to develop a Complete Streets concept plan for San Pablo Avenue and Buchanan Street. It is currently seeking focus group participants.

The City of Albany is looking for residents to participate in public meetings to help develop a Complete Streets concept plan for San Pablo Avenue and Buchanan Street.

The meetings are scheduled to meet early and mid-December at an undetermined location (more details to come).

"Complete Streets is a movement that elevates safety and awareness of non-motorized forms of travel on a particular street and brings its environment to a more human scale," said a news release by the city.
