The City of Oklahoma City is seeking input from residents as it plans a general obligation (GO) bond election in the fall of 2025 in which voters will decide on funding for major infrastructure projects across the city.
GO bonds are the city’s most important tool to fund major infrastructure projects such as the construction or reconstruction of roads, bridges, parks, police and fire facilities, sidewalks, and more. Bond projects have been used to pay for the city’s critical infrastructure since before statehood and are determined by road and bridge evaluations, planning studies, City Council priorities, operational impacts, and citizen survey results.
There are many ways you can provide input on what should be included in the 2025 bond package.
• Visit okc.gov/GO. Visit okc.gov/GO and drop a pin on the interactive map to see where improvements are needed. • Plan a meeting. Gather your neighborhood, club, or group and use the City’s downloadable tool kit to collect, share, and submit ideas you think should be included in the bond. To obtain the toolkit, please email public.info@okc.gov. • Participate in a Kizuna Engagement Workshop. OKC City Council members will host interactive workshops in each ward where people can speak directly to city officials about their needs and priorities. One workshop will be held in Spanish. Residents needing accommodations during the workshop should contact public.info@okc.gov. People can attend any workshop they wish.

“The 2025 bond package will fund the basic needs and critical infrastructure that every community needs for stability, growth, and safety,” said City Manager Craig Freeman. “Since 2017, when the program was approved, we have collected input from residents in a variety of areas.” Many ways to learn about the needs of your neighborhood and community. While one GO bond election cannot meet all the needs across OKC’s 621 miles, we are asking residents to help us identify priorities. ”
