Want To Make Lafayette Downtown More Walkable? Here's A Committee For You

LAMORINDA, CA — Lafayette leaders are asking residents to help steer the future of downtown transportation as the city advances a major mobility planning effort designed to improve how people walk, bike, drive, and access transit throughout the Mt. Diablo Boulevard Corridor.

The City of Lafayette has opened applications for three at-large community seats on a newly formed Multi-Modal Mobility Advisory Committee, a panel that will help guide the city's Mt. Diablo Boulevard Corridor Multimodal Mobility Plan, known as M3.

City officials launched the planning effort as part of a long-term strategy to create a more vibrant and connected downtown. The vision includes new housing along the Mt. Diablo Boulevard Corridor, placing more residents within easy reach of restaurants, shops, BART, the library, parks, and other downtown destinations.

Committee members will provide community input on the M3 plan as well as related transportation and urban design projects. The group will review concepts, evaluate alternatives, examine draft recommendations, identify tradeoffs and opportunities, assess potential impacts, and offer feedback based on personal experience and professional expertise.

The advisory committee is expected to meet every one to two months over an 18- to 24-month period, with meetings scheduled to begin in late summer 2026.

City officials encourage residents interested in transportation, mobility, and downtown development to apply. Applications must be submitted by June 14, 2026, to be included in the first review cycle.
