Danville Town Council Set To Extend Local Emergency

DANVILLE, CA — Danville's Town Council is expected to extend the existence of a local emergency during it's Tuesday, Oct.3 meeting. The move comes about as the town continues repairs following flooding and mudslides that occurred after a pair of atmospheric rivers hit the Bay Area in December and January.

The San Ramon Creek flooded Dec. 31 during those atmospheric river events, causing mudslides and several trees to fall along the creek, from Front Street between Diablo Road and East Linda Mesa Avenue, then a second atmospheric event hit Jan. 4, causing more damage, the city said.

"While the Town has largely completed the various emergency projects necessitated by the

winter storms, the Front Street slide repair is not yet complete," the agenda item reported. "This repair, which is significant and needs to be completed to avoid loss of the roadway, is an emergency project which needs to be completed before any further rains impact the creek."

Work recently began on the projects which are expected to take two to three months to complete, the city said, adding that continuation of the original storm related emergency declaration was necessary to allow Danville to complete the Front Street project and enhance the likelihood of FEMA reimbursement.

Also on the agenda for the Tuesday, October 3 Town Council Meeting are:

• Proclamation declaring October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month
• Consent Calendar, including project actions:

1. Emergency Storm Drain Replacement
2. Oak Hill Park Playground Completion
3. Turf Replacement Completion
4. Pavement Slurry Seal Project

• A Public Hearing Regarding 540 El Pintado Road
• Administrative & Town Council Reports

Town Council meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of every month at the Town Meeting Hall, 201 Front Street. View the full agenda or watch the meeting online by clicking here
