Neighborhood Streets: It’s Going to Get Rougher Unless We Act
The cost of materials like asphalt and concrete has soared—and our current funding isn’t enough to keep up. That means our roads are getting rougher, and continuing to patch our roads won’t cut it.
Without new resources, the condition of our local neighborhood streets will continue to decline.
6 Minutes Can Be the Difference Between Life and Death
Every second matters in an emergency.
Today, there are residents in central and northwest Westminster that emergency vehicles cannot reach within six minutes – the amount of time before brain damage can set in without oxygen – because we do not have fire stations within range.
As our community ages, the demand for 911 services has doubled in the past 20 years. We need new fire stations built in these existing service gaps and more trained paramedics to keep our community safe.
Together, We Can Solve This
The City is tightening its belt and looking for funds within our current resources to dedicate to neighborhood streets and build new fire stations within the service gap areas, including:
- Cutting costs and tightening operations
- Prioritizing existing resources on critical services
We are getting there, but we need your support to close the gap by raising new revenue to fund these critical needs.
We’re exploring a 0.4% sales tax option to:
- Build a central fire station to close a service gap in the middle of the city
- Hire firefighters and paramedics to staff the central and northside stations
- Rebuild a 50-year-old westside fire station that is too small to house modern firefighting equipment
- Dedicate $2M annually to repair – not just patch – neighborhood streets
