Dallas city council members are set to vote Wednesday on spending priorities for the upcoming May $1.25 billion bond election.

- Streets - $500 million
- Parks - $284 million
- Housing - $100 million
- Public Safety - $95 million

The bond would help fund projects in the City of Dallas for the next five years.
The priorities, as they will be presented on Wednesday, were established after a series of public meetings late last year.
Council members will be able to suggest changes to the current bond proposals.
