Overview about Springfield’s Street Repair Bond Measure
The City of Springfield is responsible for building, maintaining, preserving, and repairing the street system
within city limits. An assessment was performed in 2017 and identified that more than 50% of city streets
had cracking, potholes, and grooves. Based on the assessment, the cost to preserve and repair the streets
would be approximately $40 million. On average, the City receives funding that provides $1.1 million each
year to go toward maintaining, preserving, and repairing streets.
If funding could be secured to address the need, identified projects would bring many of the highly traveled
streets back into good condition and extend their useful lifespan. Fixing streets through preservation and
repairs can cost 4 to 10 times less than full street reconstruction in the future when they reach the end of
their lifespan.
Based on the need to address street repairs, at their July 2, 2018,
regular meeting, the Springfield City Council passed a resolution
to refer a bond measure to the November 6, 2018, election. Bond
Measure 20-296 proposed a five-year $10 million general obligation
bond to fund repairs of a list of proposed city streets. This list of
proposed streets included highly traveled streets within the city
limits that could be repaired within five years if the measure passed.
Thanks to Springfield voters’ support, Bond Measure 20-296 passed during the November 6, 2018, election.
Even before the taxes were being collected, City staff began planning and designing the first two projects
that included portions of Commercial Street and 14th Street to ensure construction of both would occur in
summer 2019. Additional projects were planned and completed over the past few years with the final proj-
ect completed this year.
For the average homeowner, the bond cost is about $0.50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value each year for
five years starting July 1, 2019. The bond was based upon assessed value, not market value. The median
assessed value of a residential property was $160,000. At that value, a homeowner pays approximately $79
per year in estimated taxes, which is about $6.58 per month. Bond Measure funds raised go towards street
repair projects only.

The following is the list of streets fixed using bond measure funds:
• 14th St. - Main St. to A St. & E St. to G St. - Completed 2019
• Commercial Ave. - 42nd St. west approx. 450 feet - Completed 2019
• 42nd St. - Main St. to approx. International Paper - Completed 2021
• Highbanks Rd./58th St. - 52nd St. to Thurston Rd. - Completed 2021
• Mohawk Blvd. - G St. to Hwy 126 - Completed 2021
• Olympic St. - Mohawk Blvd. to 28th St. - Completed 2021

Summary of Work Completed in 2022
In 2022 approximately $3.5 millon was spent including costs for the construction of the following street.
• Centennial Blvd - Aspen St to Prescott Ln
Our final bond project, Centennial Boulevard, consisted of pavement preservation of approximately 2,600
feet of Centennial Boulevard from Aspen Street east to Prescott Street. The project also included redesign
and reconstruction of non-compliant Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) facilities.

All Projects Now Completed - Ahead of Schedule
The City had six years from the start of collecting taxes to spend funds on the street projects as part of the
bond measure. Collection of taxes started July 1, 2019 and will go through June 30, 2024 with projects
originally schedule for completion in 2025. Our street repair efforts related to these GO Bond projects have
been completed nearly three years ahead of schedule with all projects finished by 2022. Repairs were
performed on each street listed in the initial proposal and included milling and paving of these streets
along with reconstruction of pedestrian crossing ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) standards.
