A red bicycle is locked to a black bike rack on a brick sidewalk. Behind it are storefronts with large glass windows and potted plants. There is a tree on the right side and a trash can nearby, with a street and parked cars in the background.

Lafayette is Already Special… And We Have More Room to Grow

Vibrant Lafayette is a community-driven group of parents who care deeply about creating a thriving, welcoming future for our town. We believe Lafayette should be a lively destination that is easy to reach and full of opportunities for connection.

We are dedicated to:

  • Bringing new life to downtown Lafayette through thoughtful economic development and advocating for public gathering spaces.

  • Improving walkability and bikeability, ensuring our trail and pathway networks safely connect to downtown, especially for our kids and senior community.

  • Encouraging longer visits and a more enjoyable, less transactional downtown experience.

  • Being the voice for parents. Parents are busy raising kids but that doesn’t mean we don’t have thoughts, ideas, and aspirations for our community.

Let’s Grow Together!

Imagine This:

  • A more dynamic downtown core showcasing the best of Bay Area's culture

  • Spaces designed around people instead of cars

  • Thoughtfully designed paths that link Lafayette’s beautiful trails to its downtown core.
