Update: August 18, 2010
SB 1061 was held in Assembly Appropriations, which effectively stalls the bill for the current legislative session. While this is an unfortunate setback, we still have the legislative analysis that authorizes spending current toll revenue from all sources except RM2 tolls on the West Span Pathway. EBBC is discussing with the Bay Area Bicycle Coalition our strategy to move the project forward and find funding for the next steps in the planning process for the pathway. We are tracking the Project Study Report, currently underway, that is updating cost estimates and refining designs for the touchdown in San Francisco. In addition, we are strategizing our fundraising opportunities to develop outreach materials and strengthen the grassroots campaign to complete the shore-to-shore bicycle access across the Bay Bridge.
