The Better Denver Program’s projects stem from the 2004-2006 work of the Infrastructure Priorities Task Force, comprised of citizens and others, which identified 68 main projects and many smaller projects  The projects were also identified and endorsed by a vote of areas residents in 2007 and by City Council Ordinance.
 
The bond projects include needed upgrades and repairs on existing facilities, or the construction of new facilities. Bond projects will improve the streets and roads we use to get around; the parks and recreation centers where we play; cultural facilities we visit; police and fire facilities that enhance our safety; and a number of City buildings and offices where operations are managed.
 
There are over 280 bond projects. They are grouped below by their bond initiative type, and corresponding to the original ballot initiative. More information on specific projects can be found by clicking on the links within the following bond issues:
