The City of Tucson is asking voters on May 17 to extend the existing temporary half-cent sales tax that was approved by voters in 2017 and expires this year. If passed, the funds generated would be invested to improve every local neighborhood street in Tucson over the next 10 years. It would also fund complete street improvements that benefit all users and modes, such as bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements, sidewalks, lighting, traffic signal technology, and traffic-calming infrastructure. If your group, professional organization, or neighborhood association would like to learn more about Prop. 411, the City is offering speakers to provide information and answer questions about the ballot measure, which, if approved, would generate an expected $740 million for road repairs and safety improvements. To request a speaker, email Robert.Rappaport@tucsonaz.gov. Use "Prop. 411 Speaker Request" for the subject line and provide the date interested and size of your group. Requests should be submitted by May 1.
