Welcome
Berkeley deserves better streets and sidewalks
As Berkeleyans experience every day, over 40% of our streets are officially in poor to failed condition—especially dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. Even with the City Council’s recent increase in funding for street maintenance, the overall condition of our streets will continue to decline, and the $260 million current backlog of deferred maintenance will grow by about 25% over the next five years. Likewise, our sidewalks and pedestrian paths are crumbling and hazardous.
With Berkeley Measure EE, we can change that!
Berkeley Measure EE has qualified for the November 2024 ballot!
On May 7, we announced that over 80 Berkeley volunteers collected enough signatures to qualify our measure for the ballot! Measure EE is narrowly focused on fixing all our streets and sidewalks over the next 12 years – with no padding for undefined and unplanned infrastructure projects. Measure EE requires the city to maintain its recently increased street maintenance budget—otherwise, the tax goes away (no bait and switch)!
Now the campaign begins!
Join us!
Working together, ordinary folks have the power to make our city government more responsible and more responsive to Berkeley’s basic needs. You can help ensure that Measure EE prevails in November!
