Public-Private Partnership Disasters

California: Doyle Drive/Presidio Parkway Project 

The Doyle Drive/Presidio Parkway Project is a P3 disaster from right here in California  Because they are so profitable, it is not a surprise that multi-national companies and Wall Street investment houses want to bring more such P3s to the "lucrative" California market.
Doyle Drive 
 The Public Interest Alternative __________
  • Require competitive bidding.

  • Require public oversight, design and inspection to ensure public safety and cost controls.

  • Any tolls should be reinvested in our transportation and other public infrastructure.

  • Prohibit non-compete clauses and cash payments that prevent improvements to competing public roads, increasing congestion.
