Dr. Quy Tran discusses the unique issues in District 4 around Transportation and Safety

SAFE ROUTES A District 4 Traffic Calming Program, modeled on Dublin's Project Slow Zone. Residents petition for speed tables, traffic circles, bulb-outs, painted intersections, and signage, chosen by data not politics. Morello Avenue median trees would slow traffic and add shade. Measure K for safer streets, not budget shortfalls. District 4 has PCI scores of 38 and 46, streets with no sidewalks, intersections with no protected crosswalks, and bike gaps. He will direct it to road conditions, traffic calming, protected bike lanes, and sidewalk gaps, plus Safe Routes to School with flashing beacons, high-visibility striping, calming near school entrances, and signage. Expand Healthy Aging senior transportation. Isolation is a documented health crisis. Grow the PH Senior Van, partner with CCTA paratransit, bring mobile telehealth to tech-challenged seniors, and encourage concierge ridesharing like GoGoGrandparent, Uber Health, Lyft Concierge, or Mobility Matters. Pursue grants. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan calls for 67 miles. Only 28 were built by 2024, about 1 mile a year, leaving four decades of work. CCTA secured over $77 million in federal active transportation funds, but Pleasant Hill missed the last SS4A grant. He will seek CCTA Vision Zero partner status, sidewalks and protected crosswalks on Taylor, Morello, and Paso Nogal, and bike repair stations at District 4 parks. WILDFIRE Bring the Diablo Fire Safe Council Cost-Share Defensible Space Program to District 4. It is funded and running. Only city outreach is missing. Get District 4 projects into the Regional Priority Plan for future grants. Fund Con Fire. Oppose cuts to station coverage or staffing near District 4. PUBLIC SAFETY Invest in Crisis Intervention Teams so mental health professionals co-respond to non-violent crises. Expand Homeless CORE hours and add case management and housing navigation.
