A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
URGING APPROVAL FOR MEASURE "A, " A COUNTYWIDE TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, congestion is rapidly growing and without an
adequate highway network, we will see gridlock conditions
such as exist in Orange and Los Angeles Counties; and
WHEREAS, a sound transportation system which keeps pace
with growth is vital to securing new jobs for our residents,
thereby reducing long commutes; and
WHEREAS, our local City and county streets are in great
need of additional revenue for rehabilitation and new con-
struction, since current gasoline taxes are consumed by
roadway maintenance costs; and
WHEREAS, state and federal gasoline taxes and other
transportation revenues are, and will continue to be, inade-
quate to meet our state highway construction needs, even
though we continue to receive our equitable share of those
funds; and
WHEREAS, the state is encouraging counties to adopt
transportation revenues of their own, and is increasingly
rewarding those counties who have done so; and
WHEREAS, three counties (Santa Clara, Alameda, and
Fresno) have adopted such measures, and others are planning
to do so; and
WHEREAS, a one-half cent sales tax for a period of 15
years, to be spent on a voter-approved program of projects,
appears to be the most fair and productive method of local
funding; and
WHEREAS, the San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors
have initiated Measure "A" leading to a public vote for such
transportation needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Redlands to take a position of support for the
proposed countywide transportation improvement program to be
funded from Measure "A" on the November 3 , 1987 , Ballot.
