Many voters at the Udall Center polling location were voting 'Yes' for the special election. Many of them agree that the roads in the city need improvements.
"I think the state of our road and the state of our infrastructure is very poor," says Tucson resident, Isamu Nevins. "This is a temporary measure."
Other Tucson voters, say the City of Tucson should work within their means.
"People have paid enough and that money is there and it has been allocated to the wrong places --- they can find it if they look hard enough," says Pat McConell.
Tucson Councilman, Steve Kozachik tells KGUN 9:
"The voters throughout the city recognize this is an investment in the community. And they're saying we're done with negativity coming from people who offer no constructive alternatives. I agree on both counts."
