Transbay Advocates Victorious Proposition C moves Transbay Forward2006/transbay.jpgbyline‚ Jun. 06‚ 2006With Friday’s landmark vote at the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) to move forward with a two-phased development approach that will deliver the train-ready Transit Center by 2014, Proposition C proponents suspended campaign activity this weekend. “The decision to finally move forward with the region’s most important transportation project was a long time coming,” said Prop C spokesperson and BART Director Tom Radulovich of Livable City. “Prop C made that possible. Now we have to maintain this forward momentum, and work together towards securing full-funding for the downtown extension of Caltrain.” Proposition C author and TJPA Director Chris Daly stated that the measure has been the main impetus in getting the project back on track. “Proposition C was intended to force Gavin Newsom into a leadership position on Transbay. He’s since held a high-profile press conference to announce his support of high-speed rail. Now his proxies on the TJPA have left behind their delay tactics and are acting responsibly to move the project forward. Prop C has won 4 days before the election!” |
