Community Meetings to Discuss Transportation Funding Plan
Sunnyvale, CA (10/24/02) – The City of Sunnyvale is conducting a series of community meetings to gather input on a Transportation Strategic Program, a comprehensive funding program for long-range transportation infrastructure improvements.
A number of major roadway capital improvement projects will be necessary to offset increased travel in the City generated by new development over the next 20 years. A comprehensive funding program has not been specifically identified, although revenue sources have been discussed. Without funds for improvements to the City transportation system, traffic congestion could negatively affect the City's economy, neighborhoods, and environmental health, among other things. The City’s future funding needs are estimated at approximately $100 million.
Updated land-use forecasts show that 16 to 19 intersections will become congested in the next two decades. The scheduled community meetings are intended to share information and gather community input on the City’s long range transportation infrastructure and funding needs. Meetings will be held in Sunnyale on:
