(Reasons for opposition to AB 3219 contained in the �.�tter are: , ' �~` ,) 1. The City Council of Redwood City has a` previous position y �n favor of construction of the new Dambarton Bridge; � 2.'AB 3219 incorporatin9 the "Stephens Plan" bears no Dene- ficial impact upon our City nor tities in Lhe Wgst Bay as a whole. A two-lane bridge can not support mass trans- -portation nor the heavy transportation requireapents of industrial�development in Redwood City or East Palo Alto; 3. It �s highly unlikely that $35 million aill prpvide the funding necessary to complete the approaches, upgrading of the bridge, and other amenities desSred by the com- ' munities of the West Bay; 4. That minor upgrading �f the present bridge def4ats any attempt to provide for the safe passage of a significant amount of vehicular traffic across the Bay.)
