Johnstown to vote on transportation funding, mayor’s role and broadband

On April 7, Johnstown voters will decide on Issue 1A, a ballot issue for a 0.5% sales and use tax increase to fund street and sidewalk maintenance. The Town has identified $18M in maintenance needs that would be funded by the increase, with an expected annual revenue of $2.1M in the first year. The list of projects includes maintenance to two of the Regionally Significant Corridors within the North Front Range region: Colorado Blvd and Parish Ave.

If the ballot issue passes, the Street Maintenance Fee instituted in 2016 would be eliminated. For more information on the ballot issue, read the article in the Loveland Reporter-Herald.
