There are still 13 outstanding projects from the city’s November 2019 bond and one project remaining from the November 2013 bond, according to the city’s website. Only the Ditch H trail project, which has since been renamed to the Sugar Land Trail Phase 1, remains un nished from the 2013 bond and is set to start construction soon, May said. Additionally, two projects from the 2019 bond were put on hold until the 2024 bond is decided, she said.
According to the city’s nancial management policy statement, Sugar Land residents can expect to see the next bond in approximately ve years or when City Council deems it necessary.
