City Seeks Feedback on Future of Concord

Residents submitting ideas through the city's interactive website suggest better bike paths, trash removal and a wall or hedge on the Willow Pass side of Todos Santos Plaza. What's your idea for a better Concord?

The City of Concord is looking to the future, and asking residents to share their ideas for a better, brighter city.

To foster community engagement, the city has established an interactive website called Concord Connects, which includes a forum for the downtown-specific plan, ideas for neighborhood street features, and thoughts on how to create a safer environment for cyclists and pedestrians

The city is also using the site for informational surveys, such as a recent questionnaire on sewer lateral replacement.

Some ideas submitted by the public include:
