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.
