Why This Vote Matters
The motion to approve safety improvements along San Pablo Avenue failed to pass despite receiving majority support. Richmond and San Pablo had planned to jointly apply for grant funding to make the busy street safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers between Rivers Street and Hilltop Drive. The motion included a requirement that traffic problems at Robert Miller Drive be addressed as part of the project. Though three council members supported the plan, it needed four votes to pass, with Vice Mayor Boozé voting against and Councilmember Bates abstaining. Bates's abstention was notable given their usual strong support for infrastructure projects.
