Early voting begins today for the May 4 elections. Dallas is asking registered voters to approve the $1.25 billion bond package that will go toward city projects.

Funding split between 10 categories — roads, parks, libraries, housing, homelessness, public safety, cultural arts facilities, flood protection and storm draining, economic development and city information technology — totals $1.25 billion.

The city of Dallas released the project list for the 2024 Bond package on Friday, March 22.
