Why it matters
Good planning means better roads with less traffic jams and shorter construction times in your neighborhood. When engineers have detailed aerial photos, they can design transportation projects that work better for families and cost less tax money.
If this passes
Transportation projects will be planned more carefully using detailed aerial photos. This means better roads, less construction delays, and projects that fit neighborhoods better.
If this does not pass
HCTRA would plan roads without the most current aerial data. This could lead to more expensive projects and designs that don't work as well for communities.
