Four years after the passage of Measure V, the City’s one-cent use and transaction tax, Concord has successfully completed a number of projects and continued to fund essential services and community-identified priorities.

27 Measure V-funded construction projects have been completed over the last year alone, and the City has made investments in public safety, homelessness programs, and other City services, according to the City.

Read all about these projects and see what’s scheduled for 2025 and beyond!

i think Treat Blvd looks great. Thank you.

..agree…wish some of the other local cities would follow Concord’s example

Looking forward to streets/drives in our neighborhood to be repaved next year.
The New water lines just completed last week, … they were 75 years old here.
They had to break up part of our driveway to connect the copper pipe to our meter.
We even have a New Fire Hydrate in our Court now. Love that safety factor, … 🙂

I’ve been very happy with the recent improvements, but I hope it won’t take another bond measure to fill potholes in Turtle Creek Road. Road maintenance should come out of the general fund and not require bonds or supplemental taxes

smh,

Measure V wasn’t a bond measure, it was a permanent doubling to 1.0%, of the temporary Measure Q 0.5% sales tax.

I can actually drive down Meadow Ln without destroying my shocks. (and my kidneys)

The repaving of Concord’s Meadow Lane might look and feel great, but the restriping is an absolute disaster!!!!

We should not need to pay years of constantly increasing extra sales tax to have the roads paved. Everyone should be reminded that we were first told 10 years ago this extra sales tax would be temporary. Now it has blossomed into staying in perpetuity unless retracted by the City Council or placed on the ballot by voters collecting signatures. Also – the first thing City Council did with this money was to change the municipal code to allow them to use the extra sales tax money to pay unfunded pension liabilities and then City Council gave themselves a monthly raise and then they gave the City Manager and City Attorney guaranteed raises for two upcoming years for which their performance is unknown. Don’t be ass clowns – this extra sales tax is allowing local government to keep its bloated budget. Fire the City Manager and hire one who can take of the basics like roadways first without reaching into your pockets to line her own and then fire the Economic Development Director for poor performance and hire one who can come up with fresh ideas for economic recovery.

By a vote of 4-1 the Concord City Council voted themselves a $500.00 per month pay raise.
.
The Concord City Council gave the City Manager and City Attorney a 14% pay raise over 3 years.
.
Yet, the Concord City Council constantly complains that the city has no money!!!

There is a lot more roads that Concord needs to be looking at
