SUBJECT: GEORGE MILLER JR. BRIDGE TOLL PLAZA LOCATION RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION N0. 89/182
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a: BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
That the Board of Supervisors resolve to support continued
location of the George Miller Jr. Martinez/Benicia bridge
toll plaza in Solano County, and oppose .relocating the toll
plaza to Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND:
CALTRANS is currently considering a toll plaza location for
the new bridge span. It is not in Contra Costa Counties
interest to locate 'the toll plaza on our shore for the
following reasons: .
1 . Idling vehicles contribute to air pollution.
2 . The eleven plus lanes would intrude into wetlands and
industrial lands.
3 . When the new bridge reaches capacity, we more quickly
would again experience traffic congestion encroaching
into local communities.
