Sawyer will take action on Hwy. 12

Editor, Index-Tribune:

    

  As the former mayor of Sonoma and an original member of the Springs Task Force Coordinating Committee (better known as “Stiff Kick”), I started working with Supervisor Mike Cale and Sonoma Valley residents more than 25 years ago to advocate for sidewalk and pedestrian safety improvements on Highway 12 in the Springs. After more than two decades of planning, studies and community meetings, and amidst recent news that the state Department of Finance has denied redevelopment funds to complete this project yet again, we need strong leadership to see this project to completion.

  John Sawyer will take action by working with the state and Sonoma Valley residents to see this project through. His conversations with residents and Highway 12 business owners have helped provide him insight to address this serious issue. John Sawyer has taken these concerns to heart and knows the problem is both a public safety and economic development issue.

  As someone who has been advocating for a safe path through the Springs for more than 25 years, I urge you to join me and vote John Sawyer for supervisor – he will take this project down the path to success.
