Measure B Funded Projects
In November 2000 Alameda County voters approved Measure B,
a ballot measure to continue the County's 1/2 cent sales tax
for transportation projects through March 2022. Measure B also
established the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority
(ACTIA) to administer this sales tax.
ACTIA started collecting the 1/2 cent sales tax in April 2003
and provides the Alameda County Public Works Agency with funding
to maintain local streets and roads and implement bike and pedestrian
improvements within the unincorporated areas of Alameda County.
All Measure B funds come with specific program and financial
requirements.
For more information about Measure B, visit the Alameda
County Improvement Authority website.

- Sidewalk Repair Program
The
Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution that
allows the Alameda County Public Works Agency to participate
in a Measure B cost sharing program for sidewalk repairs for
single-family residential properties in Measure B Planning Area
2.
Currently, the Sidewalk Repair Program is funded by $100,000
of Measure B (administered by Alameda County Transportation Improvement
Authority) Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Funds set aside annually
and divided equally among the following unincorporated areas
of Alameda County: Ashland, Castro Valley, Cherryland, Fairview,
and San Lorenzo. These Measure B program funds are offered on
a “first come, first served” basis while funds are
available.
The County will reimburse 50% of the sidewalk repair
cost per property, or a maximum of $750, whichever is less. Prior
to the approval of this resolution, residents were responsible
for 100% of the costs of sidewalk repairs.
Residents of the affected
unincorporated areas should contact the Public Works Agency at
510-670-5500 to request a sidewalk inspection.
