Alameda-Contra Costa Transit is hosting a final open house Thursday for community members to learn more about a project to improve bus service along two major thoroughfares in Richmond.
The meeting will take place from 4-7 p.m. Thursday at the Richmond City Council Chambers to discuss improvements to the Macdonald Avenue and Cutting Boulevard corridors. AC Transit officials said the project includes signal upgrades, bus stop relocations, curb extensions, sidewalk repairs and other changes.
A public outreach kickoff event for the project took place in December 2024, and a follow-up event happened in March 2025. Thursday’s meeting will be the final one. Construction on the project is expected to be complete by fall 2028, according to AC Transit.
The work will be along Macdonald Avenue between Richmond Parkway and San Pablo Avenue, as well as along Cutting Boulevard between Interstate Highway 580 and the El Cerrito del Norte BART station.
The transit agency says on a website for the project that it “focuses on improving safety and accessibility for both bus riders and non-bus riders, improving bus operations, and improving the customer experience.”
Among the changes will be moving 25 bus stops to safer locations, installing 17 new bus shelters, and repairing sidewalks at 29 bus stops, according to AC Transit.
More information about the project can be found on the transit agency’s website at and people can leave comments or questions at [email protected] or 510-350-0071.
Thursday’s meeting will be at the council chambers at 440 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond.
