CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSITION A - SOUTHERN CROSSING.
WHEREAS, citizens of South San Francisco will be called
upon to affirm or disaffirm Proposition A on the June 6, 1972,
Primary Election ballot, and
WHEREAS, Proposition A asks: "Shall the California Toll
Bridge Authority be permitted to construct the southern cross-
ing bridge without further specific approval by the California
Legislature?", and
WHEREAS, Proposition A subtly disguises the reality that
a mandate vote would locate the southern bridge at India Basin
in the Hunters Point region of San Francisco, and
WHEREAS, this location would be inimical to land manage-
ment, Bay Area Rapid Transit, and the ecological preservation
of the Bay, and
WHEREAS, South San Francisco and other North San Mateo
County cities have consistently supported Sierra Point as the
most logical site for a southern bridge, if any bridge must
in fact be built;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of South San Francisco that this Council does oppose the
passage of Proposition A and urges this City's electorate to
do likewise.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was
regularly introduced and adopted by the City Council of the
City of South San Francisco at an adjourned reoular meeting
held on the 27th day of April , 19 72 , by
the following vote:
AYES, COUNCILMEN Patrick E. Ahern, Gordon T. Boblitt, William A.
