The Berkeley City Council discussed a potential infrastructure bond of up to $300 million for the November 2026 general election ballot at a special council meeting Tuesday. ⁠ ⁠ The city of Berkeley has more than $1 billion in “unfunded infrastructure needs,” according to city staff. Though part of the city’s general fund as well as voter-approved ballot measures partially meet this financial need, the measures thus far have not been enough.⁠ ⁠ These measures include the $100 million Measure T1 bond, passed in 2016, which funds city infrastructure construction and improvements, as well as the Measure FF parcel tax, passed in 2024, which provides about $267 million across 14 years for street and sidewalk repairs.⁠ ⁠ Read more through the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✍️: Syontoni Hattori-Chatterjee⁠ 📸: Andoe Glaser ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ucberkeley #dailycal #berkeley #berkeleycitycouncil #measuret1 #measureff
