Brunswick plans a 1.2 mill renewal road levy for 10 years to fund residential street repair. It would raise about $852000 annually with a $26 yearly cost for a $100000 home, and money would go to concrete and asphalt work and crack sealing. A council measure mirrors the levy promise from 10 years ago, with grants supplementing funding.
