A RESOLUTION ENDORSING ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE MID-STATE
TOLLWAY
WHEREAS, the completion of State Highway 84 is needed as an integral part of the Tri-
Valley regional transportation system; and
WHEREAS, the twenty million dollars of Measure "B" money is inadequate to build even
the portion of State Highway 84 between Vallecitos Road and 1-580; and
WHEREAS, existing State Highway 84 is inadequate and in some locations unsafe; and
WHEREAS, the critical interchange of 1-580/I-680 will become grossly overloaded without
the construction of an adequate freeway connection on Highway 84 between 1-680 and
1-580; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has enacted legislation permitting public and private
partnerships in the development of the State Highway System; and
WHEREAS, this legislation has resulted in the award of a conditional development
franchise to undertake environmental studies for State Route 84; and
WHEREAS, subject to the completion and certification of environmental studies, the
California Toll Road Company has the authority to undertake the financing, design,
construction, lease-back, and operation of the transportation facility as a toll revenue
demonstration project to recover its investment; and
WHEREAS, the economic well-being of the Tri-Valley is dependent upon the efficient
movement of people and goods; and
WHEREAS, there are no funded, or anticipated, plans at the Federal, State, or local level
to construct State Route 84 between 1-680 and 1-580 from Sunol to Antioch; and
WHEREAS, the cost of such needed improvements that serve regional and through traffic
should not fall disproportionately on the residents and businesses of the Tri-Valley or the
counties through the disproportionate imposition of local taxes, fees, or assessments;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Danville has determined and orders as
follows:
o

funds for the construction of a State Highway 84 freeway facility;

the lawfully appropriate means for identifying and disclosing major project needs,
alternatives, impacts, and mitigation measures including the relationship of the Mid-
State Tollway to the Isabel Expressway;
.
Requests involvement in the EIR process for Highway 84 and reserves judgment
on all projects in the corridor until the facts are set forth and the consequences of
all projects are fully understood.
