NA/1/4,0 A ALAMEDA TRANSPORTATION COMMITCOUNTYWIDE TEE AT 399 Elmhurst Street Hayward, CA 94544 Telephone (415)881-6443 June 11, 1987 • California Transportation Commission 1120 N Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Chairman Bagley and Commissioners.: At its June 10, 1987 meeting, the Alameda Countywide Transportation Committee discussed your staff's recommendations for the 1987 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) . The committee was very disappointed that this recommendation includes no new funds for the Nimitz Freeway, despite the clear .need and the substantial local funding commitment to this state highway. Alameda County voters have taxed themselves for some $220 million in improvements on the Nimitz Freeway. When taken together, the local sales tax project and the State project on the Nimitz represent some $300 million in improvements -- two thirds of which are funded locally. This very substantial local commitment must not go unrewarded. We are not asking that the Commission fully fund the project this year. We seek only $12 million in the 1987 STIP, so that together with previously programmed funds, a useable segment can be built. We. urge you and the other commissioners to provide adequate funding for the State project on the Nimitz freeway. . The voters of Alameda.County have honored their part of a new state/local partnership. The State must now show its commitment to this partnership.
