Comment: in a matter of minutes I managed to drum up two interesting sources for this individual--not bad for someone born in 1878.  There may be some editing issues that need to take place, but I see no reason not to |assume good faith that the content of the article is accurate at this point.  It appears to be an article worth some attention and the individual seems to have had an impact on politics and the roads in California.  Notability speaks to  and the breadth of independent sources have provided significant coverage of the individual, in my eyes enough to pass  so there it is

Comment: The highest office this person held is mayor of a midsized city — which means that he could have an article if he could be referenced well enough to clear  #2 ("major local political figures who have received significant press coverage"), but it isn't a strong enough notability claim to guarantee him an article in the ''absence'' of solid sourcing. Mayors are no longer automatically presumed notable just because the city they were mayor of eventually surpassed an arbitrary population cutoff — the notability test for a mayor is the ability to write and source a substantive article about his political ''impact'', not just the ability to verify the names of his wife and kids, so one obituary in the local newspaper upon his death is not enough sourcing to get a mayor over the bar all by itself

Comment: I have added more sources (yes, newspapers, as well as a book). There are plenty of secondary sources, and it is clear from articles in 1937, 1951 and 1960 that he was acknowledged as "the man responsible for the success" of the Broadway Low Level Tunnel project. It was a major project, with a very large cost for the time, and the original contractors were unable to complete it so it had to be retendered - this is in the sources I have added, though I did not add that information to this article, assuming it would be in the tunnel article (though I see that it's not). That is why he is described as having fought for it, championed it, put untiring effort into it, etc. I don't have access to all newspapers, eg not the ''Berkeley Gazette'', otherwise I would add inline citations to the obituary it published. I think there is enough for him to meet , but if the article is not kept, I would recommend merging to Caldecott Tunnel, so that his role in its construction is recognised
