Sir Francis Drake Improvement Project Open House - January 30

Supervisor Katie Rice 

Sir Francis Drake Improvement Project Meeting

 

A community workshop seeking input on prioritizing of the various project components is scheduled for Tuesday, January 30, 6:30 to 8:30pm at Bacich Community Center. The purpose of the open house is for the community to identify its priority project components based on the available budget of $13.5 million.  The open house format allows those interested to attend for as long or short a time as they’d like, discuss their interests with the project team, and provide input.

 

While the full list of project components generated through an extensive community process was reviewed in the EIR, their total respective costs exceeds the current grant funding available for corridor improvements. The January workshop will provide an opportunity for community input on project components and prioritization given funds for the full project cannot be secured at this time (currently $13.2 million available through Measure A/Transportation Sales tax passed by voters in 2004; roughly $19 million needed for all project elements). Outcomes from environmental review and this workshop will be the basis informing EIR certification and ultimate project proposal to be presented at a public hearing of the Board of Supervisors later in 2018.
