During the March 2020 Primary Election, voters narrowly approved the Street Levy. During the decade that the levy has been approved for, 2021-2030, levy funds will pay for the majority of residential street paving projects in the City of Hamilton. The levy funds will be split among Hamilton’s 17 neighborhoods based upon the percentage of streets that are within each neighborhood. So if ‘Neighborhood A’ has 15% of the total length of streets in the City, that neighborhood will receive approximately 15% of the funding from the levy over the decade that it has been approved for. A number of factors are considered, but the levy funds will be primarily directed by public input.
Prioritizing road maintenance is one of the top goals of Plan Hamilton’s Mobility Plan. Hamilton residents passing a Street Levy is a crucial component of being able to repair more roads in our community.
