In her Sept. 23 article on the growing public concern that the $600 million 101 widening and Express Lane project did not improve traffic congestion, reporter Alyse DiNapoli identified local leaders like Stacy Jimenez (Foster City) who are asking for data on whether taxpayers got what they were promised. Today, SMCTA Board Chair Carlos Romero (EPA) asked the Express Lane Joint Powers Authority to agendize a discussion of whether the widening project had succeeded in reducing congestion. C/CAG staff confirmed that they are in the process of looking at the data.
Thank you to elected leaders like Stacy Jimenez, Christine Krolik (Hillsborough), James Coleman (SSF), and Carlos Romero that are asking hard questions to make sure that we are spending taxpayer dollars wisely.
