With a large backlog of road fixes needed, Pittsburg may soon ask voters to approve a half-cent sales tax measure to help meet the challenges.

Pittsburg City Manager Garrett Evans said the city is facing about $84 million worth of deferred road maintenance and bicycle lane projects, and with revenue growth expected to be “slow to moderate,” it will need more money or cuts would have to come elsewhere to complete them.
