WHAT WENT WRONG! <br />1. How did things get this far! How much tax payer money has been wasted on unnecessary <br />studies and proposals? Not to mention staff time on the project! <br />2. Lack of notice: We never received notification of the design proposal, which is a legal <br />requirement <br />3. The newly proposed design has a direct and negative impact to mine and my neighbor's <br />property. Our homes will lose value and we will lose valuable street parking <br />4. The responsible action would be to <br />a) restripe the existing crosswalk, which should have been done years ago <br />b) update the City code to eliminate the driveway/crosswalk, if that is the issue <br />c) prioritize tax dollars to solve problems, not create more hazards with bulb -outs <br />Based on this, how can we trust that our existing tax dollars are being expended responsibly? <br />Why would we vote in favor of prop RR to raise taxes! <br />Local Funding <br />Measures <br />f2.61io *►l1e[rl�l <br />In order to prevent cuts to core City services, <br />the City Council unanimously voted to place a <br />half -cent sales tax measure on the November <br />ballot. If approved, this measure would generate <br />approximately $8 million annually, which would be <br />entirely dedicated to essential City services here <br />in Redwood City, such as: protecting the safety <br />of Redwood City residents, maintaining rapid <br />911 emergency response times, supporting fire, <br />paramedic and police services, providing recreation <br />and afterschocl programs that keep kids safe and <br />maintaining library hours and programs. By law, <br />sales tax revenue cannot be taken away by the <br />State and all local sales tax dollars must stay here <br />to fund local services in Redwood City. Essential <br />purchases like groceries and medicine would be <br />exempt. The measure would add 50 cents to a <br />$100 purchase.
