How Monrovia Plans to Spend Measure K Sales Tax Money

Monrovia has $22.8 million in the Measure K sales tax kitty, and now has plans to spend $16 million of it. The biggest projects are the Library Enhancement project ($6 million), resurfacing Peck and Myrtle south of Duarte Road ($2.78 million), and adding signals and road resurfacing on Mountain Avenue between Huntington and Foothill ($2.5 million).

Smaller projects are Community Center Design and Engineering ($1.4 million), Satoru Tsuneishi Park construction ($1.6 million),  buying land for affordable housing ($1.53 million), and Senior Program enhancements ($200,000). Details.

  3. Why impede traffic on Mountain between Foothill and Huntington? It will cost gasoline (and range for EV's) for the start and stop, increase [checks notes] global warming (the seas are boiling, after all and nobody can swim anymore because immersion in boiling water at 212 degrees F will kill them or inflict serious burns over their entire body and we are all going to die in a couple, or is it now 20, years if we don't reduce auto emissions). It will waste time (an unrenewable resource) for drivers. Same comment applies to the speed bumps.

    As for affordable housing, pick some swaths of the City and rezone them as Section 8 housing only. That'll work. And the bike lanes may get some use other than for exercise mobs and homeless people.
