On April 19, voters will choose a new Assembly member to represent about half of San Francisco residents. A proposed toll for Treasure Island is turning former political friends into political foes.
The toll has twice been scheduled for a vote and has twice been pulled from the agenda. It now sits in a kind of political limbo.
“That’s to manage congestion on an island that would otherwise be entirely gridlocked,” he said. “People who want to go to Treasure Island are going to overwhelmingly take other methods than driving once there are tens of thousands of people that live there.” “We don’t have a store, we don’t have a school, we don’t have resources,” she said. “All of our services rely on coming to the island or for us to come off the island. But, all of our services, all of our support people would have to pay this toll.”
“I think they invited me because they feel betrayed by their current supervisor,” said Campos. “Here we have a community that has been struggling for years and the city is looking to impose a toll that would be a devastating thing for the community.”“The state, by law, requires us to have a toll. It’s not something I even have control over,” he said. He denied that he was ever totally opposed to the idea.
