New Plan for City Paving Shared With Antonio Voters
A proposal seeks to shift paving costs partly to property owners while the city covers the rest. The plan mirrors Dallas and El Paso methods, charging frontage one third and city taxes one third plus intersections. It argues paving raises property values and proposes about $2.33 per running foot for a 30-foot street, with overall paving costs varying by material.
