Concord residents should brace for traffic disruptions on Galindo Street as the city gears up for a residential housing project promising an affordable living solution for many. According to the City of Concord's latest construction alert, starting January 22 through January 31, a necessary crane setup and subsequent arrival of modular units for the new housing development will impact the daily commute near 1313 Galindo Street.

The crane is slated for installation on January 22, leading to the daily delivery of 7 to 8 modular units for the following days, between January 23 and 26 and January 29 and 31. However, schedule changes may occur contingent on rain conditions, which might cause delays in the placement of modular units. As part of the plan, forty percent of the housing units in the project are designated as affordable housing, reflecting the city's commitment to address the housing affordability crisis. Trucks supplying the modular units will maneuver between Laguna Street and Cowell Road, with coordinated flagging operatives ensuring traffic remains smooth.

During this phase of construction, disruptions are expected to culminate each afternoon around 3:30 p.m. At this point, the flow of heavy vehicles will halt for the day to mitigate traffic implications for local commuters. Concord advises travelers through the area to remain vigilant and avoid obstructing intersections which can exacerbate traffic conditions. As the project progresses, these minor inconveniences are a small price to pay for developing urgently needed affordable housing options in the area.

The city has provided contacts for any issues or complaints that arise due to the construction. Concerned citizens may reach out to Rick Geist at (818) 262-3976 or Art Lin at (626) 861-1763 should they need to report any construction-related disturbances or seek additional information.
