Arlington residents will vote this May on a proposed $278 million, five-year bond program that would provide funding for streets and sidewalks, a new public aquatic facility, a fire station and a police substation, and other public facilities.
After months of public input, the Arlington City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved placing the bond program on the May 6, 2023, ballot.
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 December.
