Ballot question:
Measure O's proponents framed the question to convince voters of an outcome that is not necessary consequent to the actual constraints or requirements of the measure. To avoid confusion, the relevant text is emphasized below.

- Healdsburg Avenue North Corridor (North Street to Grove Street)
- Central Healdsburg Avenue Plan (CHAP)
