ALPHARETTA, Ga. â City leaders got an updated roster of street and parks projects in line for funding if voters approve special taxes this fall.
The City Council heard a report on the latest cost estimates for street upgrades that would be funded if voters pass a five-year extension to the current county-wide transportation sales tax, or TSPLOST. If approved on the November ballot, the .75-cent sales tax would bring in an estimated $59 million to Alpharetta, all targeted for local street and pedestrian improvements.
Right now, city leaders have listed some 13 top-tier projects totaling $50 million for funding.
Among the most expensive would be $10 million for Webb Bridge Road widening and improvements from Morris Road to the Greenway. Another $10 million is targeted for the North Point Parkway Corridor, although that would not fund all the city has planned for the area.
