Support a strong Urban Limit Line!

As part of the reauthorization of the Measure C Transportation Sales Tax in Contra Costa County, the county and cities will have to agree on and abide by a county-wide limit to growth until 2034. While this could be good news, we need to make sure that the line the cities and the County agree on doesn't promote sprawl. From July 1 to December 31,  the cities and counties will be negotiating a county-wide limit to urban growth. To protect open space and many rare species, we must urge them to develop a tight line with strong policies. To get involved with this historic campaign, contact David Reid, East Bay Field Representative at dreid@greenbelt.org or 925-932-7776.
