City voters on May 6 will consider authorizing an income tax for “vital streets.” Here’s how that is defined in proposed guidelines for spending the estimated $9.9 million in annual revenue from the tax, if voters approve it:
“Vital Streets and rights-of-way are accessible, attractive, environmentally responsible and safe; serving all people of our community. Vital Streets embrace the entire right-of-way through design that provides safe access for all users, manages stormwater in place through low impact development practices, enhances urban tree canopy and quality of life in neighborhoods and economic vitality in business districts.”
