Project Funding

This project is programmed as a part of the commitment to voters to invest significant sales tax funds into improvement of existing streets. The project will be funded jointly from the Street Improvement Vehicle Tax – Residential Rehab fund (aka-Wheel Tax) and ¼ cent sales tax for streets in accordance with ballot language.

Schedule

Construction is expected to take place in 2026.

Access During Construction

Streets will be closed in areas where work is taking place. Local access will be maintained to the best extent possible.

Sidewalks and curb ramps will be closed during construction. Sidewalk access will be maintained for pedestrians on at least one side of the street.
