Overview
- Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as residents weigh 11 propositions that together form the city’s largest bond to date.
- The plan encompasses 547 projects, with 76% classified as critical and 56% of funding directed to streets, bridges and traffic systems.
- Major allocations include $1.35 billion for street work and $414 million for parks, facilities and trails.
- City leaders say the package would be financed by property-tax-backed debt without raising the current property tax rate.
- Projects include transit and public safety facilities, a new downtown parking garage, a police lab and fire training center, plus funding tied to a downtown soccer stadium and future Olympic-site improvements; officials warn failure would delay essential repairs.
