The Denver Department of Finance (DoF) is launching an online interactive dashboard that allows Denverites to track the status of projects linked to its Vibrant Denver Bond programme.
The dashboard provides users with full transparency of each project’s scope, schedule, and budget. As the bond programme continues to advance, the city will also share opportunities for residents to provide input and feedback on the design of specific projects.
Improving Denver’s infrastructure and community spaces
The Vibrant Denver Bond public programme aims to improve Denver’s infrastructure and community spaces without adding any new taxes. It was informed by direct community input from thousands of Denverites and community leaders. The city will build the projects in this bond over six years from 2026 to 2031.
“Denverites deserve transparency into the progress of the improvements they voted to approve,” said mayor Mike Johnston. “I am committed to ensuring every one of these projects gets off the ground this year, and thanks to this dashboard, you’ll be able to hold me to my word.”
Users can:
- filter projects by topic or city council district
- view project locations, descriptions, and budgets
- track each project’s design and construction status, with target construction dates and photos as projects get underway.
Approved by voters in 2025, the $950m Vibrant Denver Bond Programme is delivering 58 major projects across Denver, including libraries, parks and recreation centres, cultural facilities, affordable housing, improved streets and bridges, a family health clinic, a children’s advocacy centre, and more.

The money raised through the first bond tranche that closed earlier this month will go toward design costs for multiple projects, land acquisition where necessary, and some construction costs.
Denver General Obligation (Go) Bonds are a long-term debt instrument issued by state or local governments to fund public capital improvement projects such as roads, bridges, bikeways, public facilities and parks.
“Denverites deserve transparency into the progress of the improvements they voted to approve”
This includes restoring, replacing and expanding existing capital assets. Local Go bond programmes are authorised by Denver voters every four to 10 years and repaid through property taxes.
Denver’s previous bond programmes include Elevate Denver, a 10-year, $937m general obligation bond programme approved by voters in 2017, and Rise Denver, a five-year, $260m general obligation bond programme approved by voters in 2021.
