The Streets of Benicia Need Repair

If you are frustrated with the condition of Benicia’s streets, and once and for all want to ensure resources are dedicated to repair them in a long term plan, please join us in voting yes on Measure F.

Measure F is a citizen-driven initiative, not a city initiative. A citizens group in Benicia spent a tremendous amount of time and effort collecting over 2,000 signatures to get Measure F on the ballot. We’re now counting on all registered voters to pass this important Measure.

Benicia faces a significant road repair backlog, totaling over $60,000,000. Without Measure F passing, our streets will remain in disrepair and continue to deteriorate. 

Measure F, proposed by Benicia residents, seeks to implement a 0.5% (1/2 cent) sales tax on retail sales within the City of Benicia, with exceptions for most food items purchased from grocery stores. 

This modest tax is projected to raise approximately $4,000,000 annually, and will be dedicated to repairing, maintaining, and enhancing Benicia’s streets.

The revenue from this tax will improve safety and the overall condition of our infrastructure for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.
