the Skyline Parkway proposal. Mayor Reid stated that the General Plan of ABAG provided for large corridors of open space and recreational areas to solve a number of problems such as separating the urban areas to alleviate the urban sprawl and to utilize the great potentials of some of the hill areas around the Bay Area. Mayor Reid stated that the general plans of the Alameda County Planning Department, the East Bay Regional Park District, and the majority of East Bay Cities, to name a few, all have the same policy regarding the retention of open space areas. Mayor Reid further stated that recreational areas do not require thoroughfares of this magnitude as a part of the existing circula- tion of the Alameda County General Plan and felt that the expenditure of $65 million dollars was not justified for the preservation of open space. He said he felt the property could be purchased for a less amount and for these reasons he was opposed to the proposal at this time b~nd would concur with the recommendations of the Alameda County Planning Commission. It was moved by Mayor Reid that an amendment to Councilman Gerton's motion to concur with the the action taken regarding this matter on January 18, 1971, by the Alameda County Planning Commission, as embodied in their Resolution No. 10408, with the following additional provisions: 1) That no further studies regarding the proposed Park- way be authorized unless said studies specifically include alter- natives to the proposal, which includes a roadway, embodied in the report dated October, 1970 and 2) That if additional studies are authorized, all concerned and affected cities, districts and other agencies, such as ABAG, be consulted as a part and during the course of such studies, in order to incorporate their views in any subse- quent reports or proposals.
