Voters Pass Parks Bond, Measure 26-159
Tuesday, November 04, 2014
The measure authorizes $68 million in bonds for Portland Parks and Rec. facilities. The city's parks tax rate is not expected to increase from its current rate.
The bond money will go to anticipated projects such as the refurbishing and reopening of play areas across the city, renewal of trails, bridges and community pools, fixing failing structures, leaks and crack in Pioneer Square Courthouse, and more.
Proponents of the measure believe the bond will make parks safer and more accessible for children, fix aquatic and athletic facilities, improve Portlanders quality of life and help business int the city.
There are no organized oponents to the measure.
