(COLORADO SPRINGS) — At an event on Thursday, May 9, the City of Colorado Springs kicked off the 2C paving season, with numerous city roads slated for repairs.

2024 marks the ninth year of the voter-approved 2C Road Improvement Program, with this year’s iteration approved by voters in 2019 at a lower sale tax rate of 0.57%, or 5.7 pennies on a $10 purchase. 2C funds have been used solely to repair Colorado Springs roads since 2016.

Mayor Yemi Mobolade and City Council plan to ask voters for a 10-year renewal of the 2C sales tax this coming November to continue the program without raising taxes.

“Before 2015, many of our roads were in very poor condition,” said Mayor Mobolade. “About 30+ years of deferred maintenance. And this was the result of not having dedicated funding to keep up with the road maintenance.”
