Lubbock City Council Taking Another Look at Road Bond
Last year, voters in the City of Lubbock rejected a $174.5 million bond proposal for street construction and improvements across the city… The new Lubbock City Council has decided to start the process of re-examining solutions to address transportation infrastructure needs in Lubbock. During Tuesday night's City Council meeting, a measure was approved to appoint a 13-member citizens advisory committee.
