The City of Oklahoma City is seeking resident input as it plans for a general obligation (GO) bond election in fall 2025, in which voters decide to fund major infrastructure projects across the city.

At the come-and-go workshops, people can visit face-to-face with staff about the projects they think should be included in the bond:

• Nov. 12 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
  Pete White Health and Wellness Center
  4021 S Walker Ave.


• Nov. 19 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Program from 5:30 – 6. Come-and-go from 6 – 7:30.
  Oklahoma City University (OCU), inside the Tom & Brenda McDaniel University Center
  2501 N Blackwelder Ave.

GO bonds are the City’s most important tool for funding major infrastructure projects, such as building or rebuilding streets, bridges, parks, police and fire facilities, sidewalks and more.

Bond projects have been used since before statehood to pay for the City’s critical infrastructure and are determined based on street and bridge ratings, planning studies, the City Council’s priorities, operating impact and resident survey results.

Residents who need accommodation during a workshop can contact public.info@okc.gov. Five workshops have already been held.

Here are other ways people can provide input on the 2025 bond package through Jan. 15:

Organize a meeting

Gather your neighborhood, club or group and use the City’s downloadable tool kit to collect, share and submit ideas about what you think should be included in the bond. Email public.info@okc.gov to get your toolkit.

“The 2025 bond package will fund basic needs and critical infrastructure every community needs for stability, growth and safety,” City Manager Craig Freeman said. “Since 2017 when the last bond program was approved, we have been gathering input from residents in a variety of ways to learn about neighborhood and community needs. While we can’t meet every need across OKC’s 621 miles with a single GO bond election, we’re asking residents to help us identify priorities.”
