Cherry Lane reopens to thru traffic? CoCoCentre changes plans - Apts instead of Condos?

John Muir Health has completed their traffic study for the proposed re-opening of Walnut Creek's Cherry Lane to thru traffic from the southbound lane of Treat Boulevard.  This proposal was brought to the public's attention by the 10/10/2013 Speak Out Posting "Residents & WCI Students at Risk - Spvr. Mitchoff opens thru traffic - Treat to Cherry to Walnut Blvd" at: http://walnutcreek.patch.com/groups/opinion/p/wci-students-at-risk--spvr-mitchoff-opens-thru-traffic....

At our upcoming Walden District Improvement Assn. Annual Meeting, (Monday, March 10, 2014 at 6:45 P.M. Renaissance Club Sport), John Muir Health will present the results of their traffic study and their proposal for changes to this intersection.

Also being discussed is the anticipated proposal by the developer of the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre Transit Village to construct over 100 more apartments rather than townhouses as stipulated in the approved development plan.  There will also be a discussion of BART's problems with re-landscaping along Jones Road and the ongoing noise problem to the East of the station.

County Supervisor Karen Mitchoff will be discussing both the County's position on John Muir's proposal including possible actions to mitigate its effects, and the status of current negotiations between the County and the developer of the Contra Costa Transit Village.

If you live in the Walden area (Contra Costa Transit Village / Cherry Lane /Jones Rd) these changes may result in increased traffic, increased risks to our Cherry Lane residents and Iron Horse Canal Trail bike riders and pedestrians.   These matters are of great concern to our community!  We encourage attendance at the annual Walden meeting.  We need to make our voices heard!
