State Senator Bill Dodd of Napa is introducing legislation to fix Highway 37.  Senator Dodd says the two bills will aim to ease traffic congestion and protect the roadway from future sea-level rise.  The first bill would create a toll between the Sonoma Raceway and Mare Island.  Dodd says that would establish a dedicated funding stream for critical improvements that could also be used to leverage state and federal dollars.  The second bill would direct the use of nearly two-billion-dollars in federal infrastructure dollars for climate-adaptive transit projects.  This would include Highway 37 which serves as a vital connector between Interstate-80 in Vallejo and Highway 101 in Novato.
