Salt Lake’s City Council unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday that will leave its plan for an $87 million road reconstruction bond up to voters on this November’s ballot.
“This is an opportunity after a ton of work with the administration, with council, staff, council members, to have a conversation with our community about a singular need, which is streets reconstruction,” said Council Chairwoman Erin Mendenhall at the meeting. “And I’m glad that we get to do this through a vote by the public.”
Y2 Analytics, a Salt Lake City-based market research group, said at the city’s work session that the bond will have “exceptionally high” support in November.
