Greeti ngs:RE: Toll Road et al �_a�,.o:.���j°-';n,ITA co. �,....._
We join with Val Alexeeoff on the matter of discontinuing County support
for the proposed, private toll road in and through sections of east Contra
Costa County.
Opposition to the ill conceived, ill timed private tots road project by this
organization is well known. As we have delved into the various and
sundry details surrounding this project we have become more convinced
than ever that this is a project whose time not only has NOT come, but
that its time should never come.
Firstly, the terms, benefits AND profits that would be available to the
developers, from the point of view of "we the people" were inordinately
"sweet". We would even assert the benefits for the developers would be
unconscionable.
Environmentally, construction of the road would either be a disaster or
would lead to environmental degredation that would, ultimately create an
environmental disaster.
We urge your Honorable Board to adopt Mr. Alexeeff's recommendation and
drop any and all support for the project for now and for all time.
