Commission hears quarterly report on transportation action requests; two 2025 TARs summarized
Loading...
Summary
Staff told the commission two Transportation Action Requests were filed in 2025: one forwarded to unincorporated Contra Costa County (Pleasant Hill Road at Dodaro Court) and one parking request on Janet Lane for which staff recommended community outreach rather than a 'no parking' designation.
The Lafayette Transportation & Circulation Commission received and filed the quarterly summary of Transportation Action Requests (TARs) for 2025 on Feb. 2.
Staff explained TARs are public requests for operational or signage changes; they are evaluated by commission staff and can be acted upon or appealed to the commission. "In the 2025, I received 2 TARs," staff said.
Details: the first TAR concerned the Pleasant Hill Road at Dodaro Court crosswalk but the location is outside Lafayette city limits and was forwarded to Contra Costa County staff for action. The second request came from a resident concerning parking on Janet Lane; staff said they determined the street remains passable with parked cars in place and recommended "some friendly community communication" rather than imposing a no‑parking restriction because "implementing no parking was a little heavy handed, I thought, for a nice residential street." The commission accepted the quarterly summary and no new regulatory action was taken at the meeting.
What happens next: TARs that are outside city jurisdiction are forwarded to the appropriate agency; for local requests staff generally first recommend site visits, outreach or signage changes when warranted before proposing regulatory restrictions.
