County Endorses $11.6-Billion Traffic Plan
Declaring traffic the county’s most pressing problem, the Board of Supervisors endorsed the county Transportation Commission’s 20-year, $11.6-billion traffic improvement and growth management plan.
Unable by law to recommend changes in the plan, the supervisors unanimously approved it. Ratification by the board as well as by council members representing a majority of the county’s 28 cities will permit the Transportation Commission to call for an election on a half-cent transportation sales tax. Should the plan be approved, which is expected, the sales tax proposal could be put before the voters as early as Nov. 7.
