Compare the Measures

There are two streets measures on the ballot. Only Measure FF will fix Berkeley’s streets while implementing proven City policies that will make Berkeley a more vibrant, livable community. The Safe Streets coalition worked closely with community leaders, infrastructure and public safety experts, and a wide range of City commissions to create a broadly supported measure that can fix our streets and bring them into the 21st century.

The competing measure does not provide enough funding to improve Berkeley’s streets. It will pave fewer streets and does less to protect children and seniors. In fact, an independent City report found that Measure FF is the only measure that can stop Berkeley’s streets from continuing to deteriorate.

The image below highlights a key chart from the report. The lines representing Measure FF and EE are identified in the legend. While the chart runs for 12 years, Measure FF runs for 14 years, and we anticipate seeing continued improvements over that additional time period.
