Mobility problems persist
Measure B in Sacramento County did not get the 2/3 approval vote needed to pass. It was billed as a way to fix the transportation infrastructure in the region. Most people are totally clear on the need to improve mobility. Here in Arden Arcade, transit service leaves a lot to be desired (ever tried to get a bus on Sunday?), pedestrian and bicycle-friendly streets are not exactly ubiquitous (said as kindly as we could put it), and our streets are significantly in disrepair (to put it mildly). Would Measure B have solved those problems, or, at least taken a bite out of them? Possibly. Or maybe not...as the motorists on Fulton Avenue might tell you.

Just another typical late afternoon .4 mile backup on Fulton Avenue waiting for the light to change at El Camino. Fulton is one of the few N-S streets in Arden Arcade that connects to a freeway.
