The Presidio Parkway Project Taxpayer Rip-Off

On May 20, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) voted to convert the Doyle Drive/Presidio Parkway Project into a wasteful, no-bid public-private partnership (P3).

The P3 proposal:

Abandons competitive bidding and doubles the cost of the project
Costs the Bay Area 15,000 jobs
Piles millions of dollars in new debt on California taxpayers
Takes money away from other transportation projects for the next 30 years
