Pleasant Hill Rd, Lafayette

This is the local secret that people use to avoid the 680-24 junction. It really isn't much of a secret since just about everybody and their mother know about it, but you can sometimes save yourself a little bit of time if there is a crash in that area. It will take you to Contra Costa Blvd. right around Sun Valley mall and Diablo Valley College. You can also use it to cut across to Highway 4/Martinez.

Not much on this road if you don't live there. Right at the 24 you will find Acalanes High School where all the Lafayett kids go. They have good tennis courts and their track isn't bad either.
