Road maintenance districts step approved by Oakland board
Alameda County Supervisors began creating four road maintenance districts in Eden, Washington, Murray, and Freas townships to fund lighting and traffic safety. The plan keeps revenues for district-wide lighting and allows special districts within to tax for extended services, shifting costs away from general taxpayers. An accompanying ordinance will formalize the resolution and outline legal steps.
