“El Cerrito’s approximately 68 miles of streets are in poor condition and unable to meet today’s traffic demands. Residential and neighborhood streets in El Cerrito are pitted with potholes and cracks with more than 70% of residential streets rated as “Poor” on the Pavement Condition Index (PCI).” - City of El Cerrito

The El Cerrito City Council voted this week to put a half-cent sales tax measure on the Feb. 5 ballot. If passed, funds raised by the tax would be used exclusively to pay for street maintenance and repairs throughout the city.

If the measure is passed, work is expected to begin as early as next summer, with major repairs continuing through 2012.
