Alameda CTC Programs and Projects Committee met yesterday

The Alameda County Transportation Commission's Programs and Projects Committee held a meeting yesterday, continuing its work on transportation initiatives across the county. This session followed meetings of the Planning, Policy and Legislation Committee and the Finance and Administration Committee, all convening on the same day to address various aspects of county transportation planning and funding.

Also in local news, René Turnbull and Karen Newcomb are leading in the Sunol Glen Unified School District board race, according to recent election results. Separately, two women from San Jose were arrested for allegedly stabbing a person to death and dumping the body in rural Alameda County. Residents may want to watch for upcoming decisions from the Alameda CTC committees as they advance transportation projects, as well as follow the ongoing local elections and public safety developments.
