DCSD Lawsuit
DCSD is being sued by seven residents of Calle Arroyo. Also, named as defendants in the lawsuit are Diablo Country Club and other Calle Arroyo property owners.
The Plaintiffs assert that Calle Arroyo is a strictly private street, not subject to a public right-of-way, and that DCSD is obligated to prevent the public from using Calle Arroyo.
On October 5, 2018, the Court (Contra Costa County Superior Court) agreed with DCSD and ruled that DCSD does not have the authority to prevent the general public, including cyclists, vehicles and pedestrians, from using Calle Arroyo.
At the end of October 2018, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint against DCSD asking the Court to compel DCSD to close the cut-through path from Alameda Diablo to Mt Diablo Scenic to residents and non residents. The cut-through is located on private property. DCSD filed an Answer to the Amended Complaint with the Court on March 15, 2019, requesting the Court to declare whether DCSD has the authority to close the cut-through. Below are Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint and DCSD’s Answer.

Parking vehicles opposite each other on both sides of the street is prohibited in Diablo because the roads are narrow and it obstructs passage of emergency vehicles. Park on one side only.
Homeowners are responsible for clearing vegetation that encroaches onto the road and into the creeks that run thru your property.
