Dear City Clerk,
Please include the below in written communications.
Dear Mayor Chao, City Council members,
Disclosure: I am an incoming planning commissioner but writing and speaking on my
own behalf only as a resident.
I am writing to express my support for agenda item 6 involving the city bridge preventive
maintenance grant acceptance and budget modification.
It is critical that the city prioritize and fund maintenance and repair of our critical
infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure like bridge maintenance and repair should be top of our funding
priorities.
We need to make deep cuts in other non-essential areas like road lane reductions, intersection
changes, bike lanes, solar panels, recycle water plants and other non-essential items that
appear as if they are critical infrastructure. These are not critical infrastructure. These projects
need deep cuts.
That said maintaining and repairing our bridges, roads are critical. Please prioritize and fund
these.
Please do not pull item 6 from consent. Please approve item 6 on consent calendar.
Thank you.
Thanks,
San Rao
