The Better Denver Bond Program
These improvements are part of the infrastructure package approved by voters in November 2007, (Ballot Issues B thru I) which also includes funding for parks, streets, public safety, cultural institutions and other important infrastructure needs. In all, over 200 projects are part of the $550 million bond package, and all projects will be completed within five years (end of 2012). See the complete list of other scheduled City bond projects.
