Supervisor S . W . McPeak presented to the Board a proposal
that would provide for the exploration of a "safety valve" plan to
relieve traffic congestion as a result of construction activity.
She advised that traffic congestion in many parts of Contra Costa
County is reaching intolerable levels , particularly during peak com-
mute hours , and expressed the belief that a coordinated city-county
plan should be developed to mitigate traffic congestion problems .
She requested Board members to review the proposal and suggested
that this matter be listed on the Board' s Agenda for October 23, 1984 .
Board members discussed the proposal and expressed concur-
rence with Supervisor McPeak' s suggestion . The Board also expressed
an interest in having a workshop to discuss transportation problems
and the need to have a public-private partnership relationship to
resolve same . Reference was made to the Governor' s veto of legisla-
tion which would have provided funds for certain transportation
needs through the increase of bridge tolls ..
There being no further discussion , IT IS BY THE BOARD
ORDERED that the Clerk is DIRECTED to agenda for Board consideration
on October 23, 1984 , the aforesaid "safety valve" proposal .
