Alameda CTC Programs and Projects Committee met yesterday

The Alameda CTC Programs and Projects Committee held a meeting yesterday, focusing on countywide transportation programs and projects. While the meeting covered regional planning and funding priorities, it directly impacts Livermore by shaping infrastructure and transit initiatives that support the city’s growth and connectivity within Alameda County.

Looking ahead, Livermore residents should note the upcoming Livermore City Council meeting scheduled for October 26, 2026, where local governance issues will be addressed. Other recent Livermore City Council meetings, including one on October 12, have set the stage for ongoing civic discussions. Although no new city-specific decisions were reported this week, these council meetings remain key opportunities for residents to engage with local policies, especially as Livermore continues to navigate housing and development challenges. Elsewhere in the county, the recent Alameda CTC committee meeting underscores the broader regional context for Livermore’s infrastructure planning.
