We recommend: Dallas Prop A for streets and transportation

Proposition A in the 2024 Dallas bond program would allocate $521.2 million for streets and transportation.
RECOMMENDATION: Vote “For”
Anyone who’s driven on Dallas roads has experienced the impact of our city deferring important street maintenance. This hefty chunk of funding, nearly half of the entire $1.25 billion bond program, will mainly go toward street resurfacing, repairing bridges, installing traffic signals and new sidewalks. About $162 million of Proposition A has been allocated to “Complete Streets” projects that will make roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists. These include reconfiguring Jefferson Boulevard in north Oak Cliff from a six-lane road into a four-lane road with protected bike lanes. In South Dallas, new sidewalks and a protected bike lane for Elsie Faye Heggins Street will be built to facilitate better connections to Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Hatcher light-rail station. Vote for Proposition A to help the city address long overdue road improvements and give you a smoother commute.
