City of Dallas voters have a $1.25 billion bond package to consider. Voters will decide if the city should borrow money to finance infrastructure projects included in 10 different propositions over the next five years.
Funds will go towards new road improvements, building repairs, parks spaces and storm drainage controls, among other needs. This is the fourth bond package in two decades. Dallas took on debt worth $1.35 billion in 2006, $642 million in 2012 and $1.05 billion in 2017 to pay for capital improvements.
After nine days of early voting, between April 22, and April 30, just over 3% of the county’s 1.4 million registered voters have already cast ballots.
