The City of Dublin is desperate to expand its borders. This time it's the agricultural land between Dublin and Livermore that is unincorporated Alameda County. They hope that if they can develop enough commercial land that it will provide property taxes for the City to pay for the expensive Dublin Blvd extension. This is the scheme that is behind Measure II. The City Council voted 3-2 in favor of putting this measure on the ballot.

​

                 Vote No on Measure II

Dublin Traffic Relief, Clean Air/Open Space Preservaton ballot measure 

 

That title makes it sound great, doesn't it? So, in order to get your vote, our city leaders want to fool you.

​

What they DON'T tell you:

• Traffic Relief – is not for Dublin traffic, it’s to relieve traffic on freeway 580. Alameda County Transportation Commission has officially refered to the Dublin Blvd extension as an "I-580 reliever route." So, allowing traffic from I-580 onto Dublin Blvd will INCREASE TRAFFIC along Dublin Blvd.

• Clean Air? There’s no explanation

• Open Space Preservation – all of the land in question is zoned by Measure D, which almost exclusively agricultural with a couple of exceptions.  if Dublin annexes this property, then the owner can develop part of it and "preserve" the remainder. I guess that's what they're calling preservation.  There will be less open land when they are done. Sounds pretty misleading to me.
