Arlington seeks another decade of 0.2% sales tax for road work
ARLINGTON — Accessible ramps, patched potholes, safer crosswalks and other road projects could be funded if voters approve a sales tax for another 10 years in Arlington.
The city is asking voters to consider reupping the 0.2% sales tax for its transportation benefit district. If they do, the first goal will be calming neighborhood traffic, city leaders said.
Ballots are due Feb. 14. A simple majority of voters would approve the sales tax, which Arlington uses today to help pay for road work.
Voters approved the sales tax for transportation work with over 64% supporting it in August 2013. At the time, just over 25.6% of the city’s registered voters returned ballots, according to county election records.
