Voters to consider renewing Transportation Benefit District | |
|
Voters in Marysville will decide in February whether to continue paying a 0.2% sales and use tax for transportation improvements. The Marysville City Council recently approved a resolution placing the matter on the Feb. 13, 2024, Special Election ballot.
“Over the past 10 years, the Transportation Benefit District has demonstrated the value of consistent city street preservation work,” Mayor Jon Nehring said. “Regular routine maintenance is far less costly than having to rebuild roadways that fail due to lack of attention over time.”
The Transportation Benefit District (TBD) was formed by the City Council in 2014 to provide funds used to preserve, maintain and expand the City’s transportation infrastructure. Marysville voters then approved the 0.2% sales and use tax increase for a 10-year period ending in 2024. The February ballot measure proposes the renewal and continuation of that tax for another 10 years. Read on...

Transportation Element Survey: Marysville contributes to 20-year vision | |
|
In order to help inform the update of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, a community survey was conducted Oct. 5 to Nov. 14.
The goal of the Transportation Element is to ensure that the City’s transportation needs, including roads, sidewalks, bicycle paths, and associated improvements, are understood, planned for, prioritized, and funded for a 20 year period. Public input was accepted through the survey on what transportation improvements are working well, what goals and transportation improvements should be prioritized, what factors contribute to selecting different transportation options, and where funding should be directed.
A summary of the survey results are available at the following webpage for review 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update and will help us as we update the Transportation Element. If you have any questions on the Transportation Element, please email [email protected].

On Saturday, Nov. 4, responding to a shoplifting incident at JC Penney, three suspects escalated the situation to a second-degree robbery by assaulting an employee during their escape. The pursuit culminated in a car crash in a residential neighborhood. The suspects ran from the scene on foot.
Law enforcement swiftly established containment and deployed a drone to assist in the search. K-9 Steele was instrumental in tracking down all three suspects, locating them hidden behind trees in a person’s yard. The main suspect in this case pled guilty to 1st degree robbery (committed while on active DOC supervision) and will serve 87 months in prison.

On Thursday, Nov. 16, Arlington Police asked for K-9 Steele's assistance after a suspect fled from a domestic violence situation. The suspect abandoned their vehicle in rural Arlington and ran on foot.

The Marysville Police Department (MPD) commends both K-9 Steele and his handler, Officer Brad Smith, for their pivotal role in these captures, emphasizing the valuable contribution of police dogs to public safety.
