Early voting started today. North Richland Hills voters will decide if the city should issue $49,875,000 in bonds for street improvements. Reconstruction of 27 streets is proposed including Glenview, Iron Horse, Bedford-Euless, Chapman, Lariat and others. 35 North Richland Hills Citizens serving on the 2020 Capital Program Advisory Committee recommended the street reconstruction projects. They looked at several factors including existing pavement conditions, traffic volumes, maintenance records, input from citizen surveys and estimated costs. While there are additional streets in need of reconstruction, the committee limited its recommendation to what the city can afford without increasing the property tax rate.

Early voting continues through Oct. 30. North Richland Hills voters may go to any early voting location in Tarrant County:
