If you've ever gotten frustrated trolling the Safeway parking lot in Lafayette for a parking space, some spots may be opening up.
There is a proposal to remove the Valero gas station on Mount Diablo Boulevard and expand the adjacent Safeway parking lot into that space. A request from Safeway, Inc, and the gas station owners, Gus Shahidi and the Bocci family, is on the Lafayette Planning Commission agenda this evening (although the city staff recommendation is to postpone formal discussion until the Nov. 19 Planning Commission meeting).
The commission is estimated to take that up at 8 p.m. tonight (Monday) at the Community Hall at the Lafayette Library, 3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd. That follows a regularly scheduled joint session of the Planning Commission and the Design Review Commission at 7 p.m.
Lafayette Safeway May Expand Parking Lot
Closing of Valero gas station to accommodate more grocery parking is on the Lafayette Planning Commission agenda.

I've noticed Safeway is finally cracking down on BART riders parking there. Glad to see the parking lot will be made bigger. Sorry to see Valero go.

On several occasions, I have seen 5-6 chickens pecking their way down their steep driveway on the…Read More east side of Saint Mary's Road, very close to the Cattle Chute. I had not read this story earlier. On 6/3 or 6/4, I saw a black hen, alone, out in the road right at the point of the Moraga Commons. It was pecking the pavement on Moraga Road, as cars turning north from Saint Mary's Road were avoiding it. I hope the chicken crossed the road to the trail on the other side. Better yet, I hope it turned around and followed that trail right back to the Cattle Chute and home.
