RESOLUTION NO. 872
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF THE TOWN OF LOS ALTOS
HILLS OPPOSING THE CONSTRUCTION OF DUMBARTON FREEWAY
BRIDGE
WHEREAS, the concept that continuing construction of freeways is
the unalterable solution to growth and coincident vehicular use is
anachronistic in light of vital environmental considerations; and
WHEREAS, the expansion of freeway or expressway systems in any dimension
serves to induce expanded use of the internal combustion motor vehicle; and
WHEREAS, an early reversal of the policy that ignores alternate transit
modes in favor of the motor vehicle is imperative if the criminal decimation
of the quality of our air, land, and sea is to be halted; and
WHEREAS, a new Dumbarton Bridge Freeway would contribute nothing to the
demand for mass transit except to underscore its need;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of the Town of Los Altos
Hills supports SB417 (Gregorio) , prohibiting the construction of a new
Dumbarton Bridge Freeway as proposed by the Toll Bridge Authority, and,
further, urges the Governor of the State of California to invoke the powers
of his office to arrest further efforts to expand the freeway system where
such expansion will , in any way, diminish the quality of our environment.
