Never mind: Salt Lake County voters won't get to see a list of proposed transportation projects their sales tax might pay for after all.

The Salt Lake County Council voted Tuesday to remove a map and list of 33 road and transit projects that are being considered by county mayors and council members to receive funding from a quarter-cent sales tax hike — which will be listed on the ballot as Proposition 3.

Just one week ago, the council voted to put the map and list of projects on the voter-information pamphlet.

Last month, the Legislature authorized counties to allow voters to choose to increase their sales tax to pay for road improvements, mass-transit expansion and airports.

Two days later, the County Council voted in to put the quarter-cent sales-tax increase authorized by the Legislature on the ballot. The sales tax would be in lieu of an $895 million property-tax bond that the council put on the ballot this summer to build TRAX extensions.
