Proposition B: Roads and Drainage Improvements

Bond Package:  6 Projects / $11.8 million

Proposition B provides funding to construct much needed roadway repairs and drainage improvements to Camp Craft Road, Redbud Trail, Westlake Drive, Laurel Valley Road, Yaupon Valley Road, and Terrace Mountain Drive.

The road and drainage projects were developed by our engineers using the 2017 city-wide drainage study which used a weighted ranking system. This system included high risks to public safety, damage to infrastructure, and recurring high maintenance costs. The road and drainage studies were updated in 2018, and our engineering firm developed a comprehensive multi-year plan based on existing roadway conditions and vehicular traffic volumes.
