City staff presented the City Council with a recommended 2026 bond program composition at Monday’s City Council work session, following several weeks of presentations regarding candidate projects. The proposed bond program totals $223.4M, with 59.4 percent funding directed toward street projects, 16.1 percent to public buildings, 9.9 percent to parks and the rest evenly split between sidewalks and drainage projects.
Highlights of the recommended projects to be included:
- Traffic signal rebuilds at 14 intersections
- Street rehabilitation on Waterview Drive and Melrose Drive
- Construction of new fire apparatus building and Fire Station 7
- Cottonwood Pool conversion to sprayground; new sprayground at Breckinridge Complex B; development of Breckinridge pedestrian bridge and trail connection
- Flood prevention work on the Lois Branch of Prairie Creek
Strategies were given for addressing projects not included in the recommendations.
After receiving City Council feedback, City staff will confirm final propositions with the City’s bond counsel. The City Council plans to call a bond election in February for voters to consider in May 2026.
