Arlington residents will vote this fall on a proposed $189 million bond program that would provide funding for streets and sidewalks, parks, fire stations and other public facilities.

After months of public input, the Arlington City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved placing the bond program on the Nov. 6, 2018, ballot. In 2014, Arlington voters approved a $236 million, five-year bond program that is nearing completion.

The City Council's decision to present a new bond package to voters was made following a series of meetings, tours, public forums and extensive study by the 19-member Citizens Bond Committee. This committee, tasked with assessing the City's capital needs, provided a recommended list of projects to the City Council in May.
