Voters in the city of Flagstaff will face two separate road tax hikes on the November ballot that together will collect about $250 million in sales taxes in the city and county over 20 years.
On Tuesday, the Flagstaff City Council unanimously approved asking voters for a hike of one-third of a cent in the sales tax for 20 years.
The tax would raise $106 million, with about half of that amount spent in the first seven years on repairs to roads and underlying utilities.
Of the remainder, $30 million would be spent in years 6 through 20 on pavement preservation and sidewalks, with $13 million left over for unspecified projects.
