Local Road Safety Plan, budget update on Sept. 15 El Cerrito City Council agenda
The El Cerrito City Council is scheduled to adopt a Local Road Safety Plan and receive a quarterly update on general fund revenues and expenses when it meets Tuesday, Sept.15, 2026.
The road plan is designed to reduce crashes, particularly fatal ones. It is required for the city to remain eligible or competitive for transportation grants, according to the staff report.
El Cerrito’s plan includes measures such as:
-enforcing a 25-mile speed limit citywide, including by using “automated speed enforcement technology, as soon as it is permitted under state law” and designing roads with the target speed in mind.
-adding bike lanes by removing street parking
-allowing and encouraging e-bikes while addressing reckless and illegal use
-installing speed humps
-standardizing intersection design markings and signs
The council is also scheduled to authorize the city to accept a $200,000 federal Community Development Block Grant for Americans with Disabilities Act and architectoral improvements to the Swim Center locker room and authorize a $50,000 match of city funds.
The public portion of the meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 pm. The meeting is in the council chambers at City Hall, 10890 San Pablo Ave.
