CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : SAN RAFAEL : 200 Oppose Higher Toll for Golden Gate
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
About 200 people told the Golden Gate Bridge District Board that they don’t want the bridge toll raised to $3. The hearing this week was the last of three on the proposed $1 increase and, unlike earlier hearings in San Francisco and Santa Rosa, little was heard in support of the proposal. The district said it needs to raise more money for seismic improvements to the bridge and to help cover an estimated $14-million operating deficit. The district is expected to vote on the toll increase May 31.
