Transportation & Circulation Commission

The City of Lafayette Transportation & Circulation Commission met on April 21, 2026, to discuss various transportation planning and infrastructure projects aimed at improving multimodal mobility and safety in the downtown area. Key procurement-related topics included the use of the StreetLight data platform for traffic trend analysis, with the commission considering a pilot project to develop a dashboard for ongoing monitoring. The commission also reviewed current and upcoming capital projects such as the BART Town Center bike station, aqueduct pathway construction, and the Moraga Road redesign concept study. Additionally, the commission discussed the selection of a consultant for the downtown parking management study (M3 study), which had received three proposals and was expected to begin in early summer 2026. Funding sources were noted, including a $10,000 annual cost share for StreetLight data and secured funding programmed for pathway construction in 2029. The commission also planned to coordinate with the police department to obtain quarterly data on traffic citations and accidents to complement the StreetLight data. Overall, the meeting focused on advancing multimodal transportation projects, data-driven decision-making, and preparing for future grant opportunities through coordinated planning efforts.
