| The Street Levy will fix bad roads like this |
A big win at the polls last night for Spokane City’s streets levy! The levy needed 50 percent voter approval to pass but got 77 percent.
The street levy will go toward paying off the $84 million of debt left on the 2004 street bond while levying about $5 million a year for arterial street work through 2034.
Water lines and stormwater drainage systems under the streets will be fixed at the same time.
The street levy was a no brainer, cost the same if we voted no and we would not have gotten any new street repairs for the next 10 years.
Definitely! Was reassuring that it passed with such a high approval percentage.
