Rebuttal to Argument Against Measure L
Vote YES on Measure L
Vote YES for Capitola’s Future
Hundreds of Capitola residents, many of your neighbors and friends, signed our petition to allow Capitola voters to express their local vision for the planned rail corridor Trail.
Despite what the opponents are suggesting, Measure L is clearly written and easy to understand.
Your YES vote on Measure L will express reasonable desires for the implementation of the Trail:
- City of Capitola residents want to preserve our city’s rich history
- Our community needs safer routes to schools, the Village, the beach, and other destinations
- The Trail should stay within the corridor boundaries without a detour through city streets
The Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail is a beautiful concept. A Trail that stays within the rail corridor and crosses our historic trestle will be safer, more user-friendly and efficient than one that detours onto already congested streets.
The opponents’ argument conveniently fails to mention plans to possibly detour the rail-trail onto our city streets. Are they trying to hide something?
Forces from outside Capitola fought to keep Capitola residents from voting on this important issue. What are they afraid of?
This is a historic moment…
Add your voice. Let’s be a community that says YES to a greener, safer, and healthier future!
Thank you again for Voting YES on Measure L
