From: Tom Powers, First District Supervisor
Chair, Transportation Committee
Subject: Mid State Tollway
When the Mid State Tollway proponents came to us in 1989 to ask for our
support for their AB 680 application, they promised that construction of the toll
road can be underway in 1994. On that basis, the County supported the
application. At that time, we also felt that all financing options for a north/south
expressway in East County should be explored.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission, in 1992, voted to support the
concept of a toll road from Antioch to Sunol provided that Contra Costa County
and Alameda County will jointly develop a growth management program for the
eastern part of the counties.
So far, the Toll Road Company has not given us any indication that the toll
road will be a reality in the near future.
In light of the opposition from ABAG and the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, I would like you to give me a status report on the progress of
the Mid State Tollway and any recommendation that you may have for the
Transportation Committee and the Board of Supervisors.
