The Mayor and City Council are considering how best to pay for the City’s ongoing road maintenance. Troutdale received enough money from its share of the state gas tax to keep up with road maintenance needs, but as the city has grown and the streets have aged, the state funds are no longer enough. Without additional funding the City will have to cut back on maintenance. That would cause our streets to degrade and cost much more to repair than investing up-front. The City wants to hear from you about the benefits of maintaining our streets and ways to continue the cost saving road maintenance program.
