(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Salt Lake City Council is on track to authorize a November referendum seeking voter approval for an $87 million bond to fund up to 10 years of catch-up road repairs. The new money for roads would more than double the amount of maintenance the city could do each year — from 75 to 155 lane miles. One road in need of repair is 1700 East near Emigration Market in Salt Lake City, where clear signs of damage can be seen on Monday, July 2, 2018.
