Roseville City Council Passes Resolution to Support Proposition 36

At its Aug. 21 meeting, the Roseville City Council unanimously passed a resolution to support Proposition 36, the Drug and Theft Crime Penalties and Treatment-Mandated Felonies Initiative to reform Prop. 47, which will go before voters on November 5.  

The City of Roseville has received questions from the public about Placer County Transportation Planning Agency's (PCTPA) South Placer Traffic Relief ballot measure. So we're sharing answers to some frequently asked questions.  

What is Measure B and why is it on the ballot?
Residents of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln will have the opportunity to vote on Measure B in the November 2024 election. It’s a 30-year half-cent sales tax that would provide a local transportation funding source to support $1.58 billion in road and highway improvements to address congestion. This would create a local funding “match,” which is required in order to access funding from the state and federal governments for transportation projects.

Placer County currently does not have a local funding match, but 26 other counties do. The South Placer region is one of the most populous regions in the state without a local transportation sales tax funding source.

Community Needs Workshops and Discussions

The City of Roseville is holding two Community Needs Workshops and Discussions to better understand the housing and service needs of the community to inform the five-year plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

The meetings will be held on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively, in Civic Center Meeting Rooms 1 & 2, 311 Vernon Street, Roseville, CA. The meetings will also be available for virtual attendance.

These community discussions will solicit public comments on local priority needs that will help guide future use of these federal grant funds for services, housing, and community programs and improvements, and guide the preparation of the City of Roseville’s 2025 Annual Action Plan and 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
