Here are a few key updates from the City of Dallas, and particularly for District 1 Residents:
2024 Bond Process. After months of work, the five subcommittees of the 2024 Bond Task Force have wrapped up their recommendations and pushed the recommendations forward to the main Bond Task Force body. Next, the Bond Task Force (the main body representing all 14 districts, which will assemble the final bond package for Council approval) will continue vying over district and citywide projects. I was pleased to see that several D1 projects, including renovations to Martin Weiss Recreation Center, Annie Stevens Park, Stevens Park Golf Course Clubhouse, and others made it into the Parks proposal, and that infrastructure funding for Jefferson Blvd and Davis Street was also included in the recommendations. I was very unhappy to see that District 1 priorities for downtown Elmwood infrastructure upgrades and Sylvan-Colorado intersection reconstruction were among the 95% of infrastructure needs not included in the sub-committee’s recommendations. I encourage neighbors to show up and speak at the upcoming Task Force meetings and advocate for all of the projects, including those which made it into the recommendations and those which did not. Advocacy is so important, and we need your voice.
