Danville Awards Downtown Catalyst Project Contract

DANVILLE, CA — The Town of Danville awarded a contract to GradeTech, Inc. a Livermore-based construction company, for the Downtown Master Plan Catalyst Project, a $4.1 million project to enhance the downtown.

The Danville Town Council approved GradeTech’s bid for $4.1 million at its February 20 meeting. The town said it will work with the contractor to outline an initial phasing plan and public outreach campaign. The project was initially slated to start in the spring, but may start earlier. It is expected to complete in the late fall.

The project is the result of a large survey, public community meetings, stakeholder interviews, and the highest priorities highlighted in the Danville 2022 Downtown Master Plan Update. It includes a number of improvements, including:

• Traffic calming and beautification improvements at 5 intersections along Hartz Avenue from School Street to Linda Mesa Avenue
• Improvements near the Village Theatre
• More community gathering spaces
• Enhanced pedestrian safety
• Opportunities to incorporate arts and culture

The project will be phased and go from intersection to intersection. Visit danvilletowntalks.org for more information and project updates.
