A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JUAN
CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, CONVEYING SUPPORT FOR
PROPOSITION 42
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will help make our roads safer and reduce
traffic without higher taxes by requiring the gasoline sales taxes we already pay be used
to improve mass transit, highways and local roads; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 is based on the principle that taxes paid at the
gas pump should be used for transportation purposes; and
WHEREAS, traffic is paralyzing travel with Los Angeles now ranked the
number one most congested urban area in the country, San Francisco/Oakland second,
San Diego sixth and Sacramento, San Jose and San Bernardino/Riverside following
close behind; and,
WHEREAS, with our neglected transportation system needing attention,
California has the third worst deteriorated roads in the nation and more that 6000 of our
bridges and overpasses are structurally deficient or no longer meet highway safety or
design standards; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will provide a stable and ongoing source of
transportation funding that will make it possible to plan for our future transportation
needs; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will guarantee funds to every city and county
to help fix potholes, repair dangerous road conditions and improve the safety of children
walking or biking to school; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will help speed up highway safety and traffic
relief projects, and expand and improve mass transit systems; and,
WHEREAS, all Proposition 42 projects will be subject to an annual audit
and standard accounting practices to ensure they are delivered on time and on budget;
and,
WHEREAS, by speeding up transportation projects thousands of new
construction and other jobs will be created, our economy will be stimulated and every
dollar invested in our highways will result in almost six times that in economic benefits.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City
of San Juan Capistrano does hereby support Proposition 42.
ATTEST:
