A couple of quick updates: a) the Millennium Bridge has reopened in the Central Platte Valley; b) here’s an article about DPD’s new graffiti cams, which I mentioned yesterday. One other item: I’d love to hear from anybody who attended the DNC 2008 community forum at REI last night. If you were there, please post a summary of the meeting in the comments to this post, or send me an e-mail (address is on the sidebar at right).

And now, without further ado, here’s a full list of the projects in District 9 that will be funded through the $550 million tax package approved by the voters last week:

Those are just the projects specific to District 9. On top of those, we’ll be seeing pothole repairs, curb/gutter improvements, street repavings, new traffic signals and street signs, alley upgrades, and a host of other basic infrastructure jobs throughout our district and indeed throughout the city. All this for a few extra tax pennies per household. You won’t find a better buy anywhere else in town.
