Background:
On September 12, 2017, Oklahoma City voters approved the “Better Streets, Safer City” capital improvement program: the general obligation bond package includes $967 million in projects.
The bond package uses property tax revenue to fund basic infrastructure needs. Projects were grouped into propositions for street resurfacing and widening, bridge repair and replacement, traffic flow improvements, drainage improvements, new and renovated libraries, police and fire facilities, new and improved parks, transit investments and economic development.
