Top issues during term (4)(Transportation)
traffic regulations
You might lose some resale value if you own a cart just for street use, or have to spend extra cash on an alternative ride.
public transit
While the exact price tag isn't locked in yet, funding a new on-demand fleet could mean shifting local tax dollars or partnering with private tech providers.
public transportation
Losing the station could hurt local businesses and tourism dollars tied to out-of-town visitors.
traffic safety overhaul
The city is pumping millions of dollars into these street upgrades, which could mean safer commutes and potentially lower insurance costs down the road.
