The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) are partnering to implement ramp metering on Interstate 680 (I-680). The main goals of ramp metering are to manage recurrent and non-recurrent congestion to improve operational efficiency for the I-680 corridor without adversely affecting the adjacent local arterials, and to improve traffic and incident detection to enhance corridor operations. To formalize the collaborative framework for ramp metering operations along the I-680 corridor, CCTA has led the development of the I-680 Corridor Ramp Metering Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU establishes the goals, policies, governance structure, performance metrics, and responsibilities of all signatory parties, including Caltrans, CCTA, Contra Costa County, and the cities and towns along the corridor.

The City of Walnut Creek established the Walnut Creek Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) to promote tourism within the City by funding activities through a levy of assessments upon the hotels that will benefit from those activities. In accordance with California Streets and Highways Code Section 36533, the TBID Advisory Board (Advisory Board) has prepared an Annual Assessment Report (Assessment Report) for fiscal year 2025-2026. To renew the levy of assessments, City Council must hold two meetings. At the first meeting, City Council is presented with the TBID’s Assessment Report which includes previous year’s activities and the proposed plan for the new fiscal year, requested to adopt a resolution of intention to levy assessments for the upcoming fiscal year, and to set a public hearing date. The second meeting is the public hearing to complete the two-step process. Staff Contact: Mike Nimon, Economic Development Manager, (925) 943-5899, ext. 2469
