"Traffic is the worst it has ever been," Transit District head Jim Hartnett told the supervisors. "
Is that because we keep adding housing which adds more people and more cars, etc. There are reasons why traffic is so bad.
We don't need another tax. The Supervisors spent $350,000 in a effort to get the public involved; maybe that money could have been better spent on the little projects instead.

The traffic is horrendous. Completely changes quality of life for residents and commuters. Housing is too expensive, but surely rapid overdevelopment by businesses, CalTrans changing 101/Willow interchange from a 4leaf clover to a two leaf clover configuration, and state and local government okaying it all, and labeling the problems they've caused unmitigatable, surely we need those who participated in the development to provide the major $$$ for mitigation.
I'm not interested in being part of an effort to engage community members in discussions about projects we should do and priorities half as much as I'm interested in who will pay. Let's involve the community in that.
