Why This Vote Matters
Richmond will recommend two Bay Trail segments to the regional park district for potential bond funding, with the council voting 6-2 to exclude a third proposed segment. The decision authorizes the city manager to negotiate Richmond's share of bond money that voters will consider in November 2008 for East Bay trail projects. If the regional bond passes and these segments are selected, the park district would pay for construction using voter-approved funds at no cost to Richmond. Councilmembers Butt and Thurmond opposed the motion, while Mayor McLaughlin abstained.
