Vote YES on Transportation and Housing Bond Referendums!

Raleigh residents can vote October 11 on a pedestrian/transit/bicycle focused transportation bond AND an affordable housing bond! WakeUP Wake County and many other local organizations have endorsed the bonds. Remember, if you can't vote on Election Day (Oct. 11), you can vote absentee or early NOW!

$40M Transportation Improvements Bond is multi-modal (i.e. not just about cars). It will:
· Fix potholes and resurface roads
· Build new sidewalks and repair damaged sidewalks
· Extend the Greenway system and add bike lines
· Widen roads, help with corridor planning and streetscape programs
· Improve transit including Moore Square, bus shelters & benches
· Implement improvements on Union Station (leverages $20M + federal funds)

$16M Housing Bond will:
· Provide tornado relief assistance for those impacted by the April 16th tornado
· Assist first time home buyers, including: young professionals, teachers, police & firemen
· Create neighborhood revitalization and preservation programs
· Provide low-interest loans to private developers to construct or rehabilitate affordable housing units

The cost of these bonds per household would be just $5.00/year for the housing bond and just $12.00/year for the transportation bond -- a total of $17.00/year for a single household!
