Once voters approved the $800 million bond proposal in 2017, City officials immediately started designating the projects that would roll out in the first year. Priority was given to projects already in the capital pipeline. The City Council authorized a list (ordinance # 170361) that totals $44.6 million, slightly exceeding the planned $40 million bond issuance for year one.

Not all of the projects are glitzy and glamorous, but all are essential to building a better Kansas City.

To ensure transparency, the City is issuing an annual report card to show its progress for the previous year and the projects selected for the upcoming year. The first report card will show what bids have been issued to get construction started.

An updated FY 2021-2025 GO bond 5-year plan was released in June 2020.

Additionally, the performance management team is launching an interactive site to allow residents to track overall progress of the projects and to review the details of any project citywide or in their own neighborhoods.

• New animal shelter in Swope Park, $7 million
