Aggressively pursue solutions regarding street repair and addressing flooding concerns.

For years the city has neglected basic repair and routine maintenance of our roads and infrastructure. Residents approved the city income tax increase from 1% to 2% in November 2006. Money borrowed against the future income tax receipts have allowed us to schedule the resurfacing of Edgerton, Drake and Wallings Roads, which is set to be completed by the end of 2007. The funds North Royalton will be getting from future income tax receipts must be used in a fiscally responsible manner. It is imperative that our city actively pursues road-repair partnerships, not only with neighboring communities, but also with county, state and federal agencies. By leveraging our money with outside entities, we will be able to maximize our city’s buying power, and repair more roads for less money.
