Proposed $144 million Travis County road, parks bond takes shape

A Travis County, Texas, citizens bond advisory committee on Tuesday recommended a $144 million bond package for the November ballot and $90 million in projects to be funded by bonds that don't require voter approval.

Out of a county-provided list of possible projects totaling $1.1 billion, the committee selected more than 50 transportation- and parks-related projects outlined in two bond propositions, to be completed over four years.

The transportation proposition totals about $58 million, and the parks proposition totals about $73 million. The rest of the money could cover project management costs.

The Travis County Commissioners Court will hold a public hearing on the committee's recommended package on July 25 and vote on the final package Aug. 8.
