Participatory Budgeting

How does participatory budgeting work?

Last fall, district residents like you came to neighborhood assemblies to identify community needs and suggest projects. Then, volunteers joined delegate committees to develop those suggestions into project proposals, and worked with city agencies to estimate project costs. They put together the proposals you will vote on today.

Now is your chance to vote for the projects you think should get funded. The projects with the most votes will be included in next year’s city budget, to be built or implemented over the next few years.

You’ll get to enjoy the improvements you help make happen. And hopefully, you’ll be a part of future participatory budgeting efforts in the city!
