The roads you take may be congested and you might be afraid they'll break your car. Pima County says its new budget has almost $70 million to help fix that.
TUCSON, Ariz — It’s not just a bump in the road when you hit bumps all the time. It is hard on you, hard on your car and dangerous too.
“Not only is it an irritation, but it is definitely a problem. If you notice on a rough road, your car kind of tends to want to wander around as you're driving on the road. So yeah, it is a safety issue." Pima County has set a goal to have its roads score at least 80, defined as very good condition. It’s a big job. The date for that goal is eight years away.
To avoid a tax hike to cover road repair, the county looked at bonds it has paid off. Bonds are how governments borrow money. The money it was using on those bonds is applied to roads.
