Impact analysis
Your tax dollars could go toward a bigger highway instead of local streets, or the city could avoid those costs if it wins.
People who value walkable neighborhoods and local control could benefit if the city blocks the expansion, while drivers and construction interests might benefit if it moves forward.
Residents and businesses along the route could face disruption or displacement, and pedestrians and cyclists could see a wider road make the area less walkable if the expansion proceeds.
