Bigger issue ahead street bonds just a start for Waco
Mayor D J Hicks Jr said the proposed 2 million street improvement bond is an emergency measure to tackle urgent street and drainage problems and not a cure for all Waco issues. He warned of a future bond proposal likely ten times larger to fund water supply, Lake Waco reservoir costs, and the master improvement plan. Aldermen plan an election on the bond to begin rebuilding streets and drainage structures, financed by existing sewer and garbage charges estimated to raise 480000 yearly. The plan includes repaying several streets, rebuilding Bosque Boulevard, upgrading drainage, traffic signals, and downtown one way street changes, with additional improvements like a new public library to follow.
