Rancho Mirage votes against CV Link

Cats Voting

It’s official. Everyone in Rancho Mirage hates CV Link.

Here are the election results, via KESQ:

Binding Measure 1: Requiring voter approval to overturn Ordinance No. 1099 prohibiting Neighborhood Electric Vehicles on a number of designated streets.

  • 75.72% Yes
  • 24.28% No

Advisory Measure 2: Do you approve of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments spending $100 million dollars or more to construct CV Link and an additional $1.6 million annual to operate and maintain the CV Link?

  • 80.00% No
  • 20.00% Yes

Advisory Measure 3: If CV Link were to be constructed, would you approve the city spending for its share of operatinos and maintenance expenses between $110,300 and $251,800 as of the 9th year of operations?

  • 79.24% No
  • 20.76% Yes

Advisory Measure 4: Should CVAG be allowed to divert up to $20 million dollars from Measure A funds to pay for the construction of the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle portion of the CV Link?

Sure, it might have been all cats that voted in the election, but now the original concept of CV Link appears pretty much dead.
