Traffic

By Janice E. Keating

The current traffic situation is a result of a failure to adequately deal with growth

As a Modesto City Councilwoman, I spearheaded the construction of twenty lane-miles of road. This will provide immediate relief, particularly for east-west traffic flow in Modesto.

This was accomplished by collecting adequate fees from developers and committing them to much needed road projects.

I intend to do the same thing at the county level.

If voters approve a countywide transportation sales tax in November, I will be the number-one watchdog of the funds, ensuring they are spent on projects that relieve gridlock.
