Wayside Road residents raise their taxes

A majority of residents of Wayside Road, a steep and winding rural private road in Portola Valley, agreed in the June 5 election to raise their annual road maintenance tax by $325 — to $950 per household.

Nineteen votes were cast for Measure V, or 82.6 percent of the total, more than enough to exceed the two-thirds majority needed to pass the tax increase. Four voters opposed the measure.
