Dallas city council members will meet on Wednesday and, among the other items on the agenda, address the $1.25 billion bond vote that is planned for this May.
Council members are expected to approve the propositions that the bond would address – the categories of spending that the money would be earmarked for.
As it stands now, the biggest ticket item on the May bond ballot would be more than $516 million to pay for street projects throughout the City of Dallas. That amount represents nearly half of the entire bond package.
The second-most money – $343 million – would be allocated for parks projects in the city.
Rounding out the remaining top five dollar amounts are:
- $95 million to pay for upgrades and construction of public safety buildings
- $75 million to fund performing arts projects and centers
- $73 million for various economic development projects in the city
Wednesday’s meeting is the deadline to set the ballot for the May election.
