Supervisor Nancy C. Fanden reported on meetings with
representatives from the Martinez-Benicia Bridge District, CALTRANS
and Solano County relative to the mitigation of traffic congestion
on the approach to the bridge, particularly on Friday afternoons.

September 5 , 1986 that would provide for free toll between the hours
of 3:00 and 6 :00 P.M. on those dates to determine if eliminating the
toll during this period would provide for better traffic flow along
northbound I-680. In order to reduce toll losses incurred by the
Bridge District because of this trial program, Supervisor Fanden
advised of contributions she has received in the amount of approxi-
mately $6 ,000 as the County' s share to mitigate. the loss. She
further advised that Solano County would also contribute approximately
$6 ,000 as their share for this program. Supervisor Fanden indicated
that she would be sending letters on behalf of the Board expressing
appreciation to the contributors to this trial program.
