What it does

Property owners pay for street work through taxes Owners of land along University Ave. between I-35E and Lafayette Rd. will see assessments added to their property tax bills to cover reconstruction costs.

The bigger picture

Better streets may draw more business and visitors A rebuilt University Ave. could make the corridor safer and more appealing, potentially boosting local shops and attracting more foot traffic to the area.

What to watch

Only nearby property owners pay; others see no cost Residents and businesses directly on or near the project corridor bear the full assessment cost, while the broader community benefits from the improved street without paying a share.
