Riverside trustees eye future funding for facilities, streets Officials float swapping 10-year road bonds for permanent tax levy By BOB UPHUES Editor
In 2004 and 2014, the village of Riverside went to voters asking them to approve issuing about $2 million in bonds to fund street improvements. The debt service for each bond issue was to be paid over 10 years, with the expectation that the village would ask residents for another bond issue to keep village streets in good repair. Facing the prospect of another street improvement bond issuance in 2024, elected officials are now trying to determine whether they ought to issue new bonds or ask voters to make that financial investment a permanent tax increase.
