1% Sales Tax Funding
Summary
Phase 1 (1A, 1B, 1C) of neighborhood street paving is 60–90% complete and should finish by year's end. Phase 2 design is funded at $550,000, with roughly $16 million reportedly obligated for construction — but council members want clarity on available bond money and a fair, data-driven way to pick which streets get paved next.
