2025 Primary Election Voter's Guide: Should city continue quarter-cent sales tax for streets?

Leighton Avenue improvements (copy)

At the city's primary election, Lincoln voters were asked whether to renew the quarter-cent sales tax for street improvements. The resurfaced stretch of Leighton Avenue between North 48th and North 70th streets is among the projects paid for with the sales tax revenue.
