Milton City Council is considering $44 million in transportation projects, but the funding hinges on Fulton County voters approving a transportation sales tax — TSPLOST III — on Tuesday's primary ballot. A yes vote means improvements across Milton's road network over the next several years. If it doesn't pass, the projects go back to the drawing board.
