BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A pending 31-million-dollar budget in municipal bond monies will bring Brownsville residents upgrades in infrastructure, technology, building renovations, and much-needed street and road repairs.
Michael Delmore, the chief financial officer for the city, says they will apply half of the bond monies to making improvements to streets.
“$14.5 million, over the next 12 months will go into the infrastructure to reward citizens who have been patiently waiting for their roads to be improved,” Delmore said.
City Manager Helen Ramirez said analyzing data from the city and listening to residents, made their top priority in fixing busy roads. on top of the list is old Highway 77.
“It is a corridor that is really important and actually fronts along many of our hotels. so being able to improve that road with wide roads, sidewalks, and bike lanes, is important to make it a complete street,” Ramirez said
Ramirez said fixing Highway 77 will cost an estimated 8 million, but the city needs approximately 80 million to fix roads.
