Chamber Group Offers Hand In Street Solutions
The Greater Ottawa Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee urged city and county leaders to craft a long term maintenance plan for streets and roads and to secure public funding. City manager Robert Mills estimated an extra 150000 dollars annually for ten years, while county officials noted limited funds for off system roads. Proposals included special districts, higher property taxes, or a half cent sales tax, with sales tax favored for its growth as inflation rises. The group discussed road and bridge projects, potential US-59 realignment, and a truck route to reduce heavy traffic on city streets.
