The Dumbarton Transportation Corridor Study was published this week. It identifies strategies, including a rail crossing, to reduce congestion and improve mobility between Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties. I believe that this rail crossing is a key component to addressing our traffic crisis. It can and should be built. Others are joining me, our momentum is growing! What are your hopes for the Corridor? Talk to me--650-363-4570 or tweet me @warrenslocum!

The Dumbarton rail bridge is the missing link in our mega-regional transportation network. I have been working with SamTrans, the owners of the rail bridge, and others to add this vital link to help alleviate traffic in our region. There is not one fix to the transportation crisis, but there are steps we can take to make a measurable difference. The Dumbarton rail bridge offers us a once-in-a-generation the opportunity to do just that. Let me know what you think!

On June 27th, Supervisor Canepa and I recommended that the County develop a Language Access policy. Have you ever walked into a building and had no idea which floor you needed to be on?

Depending on which side of the aisle you sit on, the future of Medicare either looks grim or promising as its fiscal strength shows signs of improvement despite the program being constantly under siege by fraudsters.

San Mateo County will be one of the first in the state to implement the exchange zone and follows Daly City, which established its zone last year at City Hall directly in front of the police station.

Board of Supervisors highlight local steps taken to curb climate change.

As District 4 Supervisor, I am like the mayor of North Fair Oaks. That means, I wake up and go to sleep thinking about the lives of the people that I serve who live in this community.     Since taking office, I have heard from many constituents that it is often difficult to report problems like abandoned cars, streetlight outages and trash on the sidewalk. They don’t know who to call, or whether the issue would be fixed in a timely fashion.
