Transportation sales tax up for renewal today

Posted online
A 1/8-cent sales tax renewal is on the ballot in Springfield today that, if approved, would fund traffic improvement projects through 2012.

Voters have approved the continuation of the sales tax every four years since 1996. Renewing the tax would not result in a tax increase.

Proposed projects that would be covered by the sales tax continuation include: intersection improvements at Interstate 44 and Kansas Expressway, James River Freeway at National Avenue, James River Freeway at Campbell Avenue, and National at Kearney Street; widening of U.S. Highway 65; and turn-lane improvements on Glenstone Avenue at Battlefield Road and on Chestnut Expressway at Sherman Avenue.

Today also is Missouri’s primary election. Click here for a full list of candidates. Polls close at 7 p.m.
