This website describes Orinda’s road system, focusing on the fact that one quarter of the system is privately maintained while performing the same function of the rest of the system, providing public access to private homes and businesses.

 

The negative impact of this two-class system of roads has increased over the years such that owners and residents of the “private” portion of the road network are paying hundreds of dollars a year to support the public portion and, conversely, the property owners fronting the publicly maintained roads are benefiting from this support.

 

Please support a fair road maintenance program for Orinda.
