COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Road repairs are ramping up across Colorado Springs with the city beginning the 2026 paving season Tuesday.
This is part of the voter-approved 2C Road Improvements Program.
Mayor Yemi Mobolade spoke at a launch event Tuesday afternoon, where he and other city leaders broke down several projects set to happen this year.
Over the past decade, the half-cent sales tax has raised nearly $500 million. Crews have paved about 2,000 miles of roads, but city leaders say there is still a lot of work to do.
Voters recently approved extending the tax for another ten years to keep the projects going.
