Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Martinez public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Old Train Depot property negotiations
The city is negotiating over the Old Train Depot at 401 Marina Vista Avenue — a piece of downtown waterfront-area property. What the city pays (or receives) for this site could shape future redevelopment there.
Entertainment Zone Approval
Martinez just approved a downtown entertainment zone—think open-air drinks and events on Main Street. The idea is to make downtown livelier and give local businesses a boost. If you live, work, or go out downtown, expect more foot traffic and maybe more noise.
