In summer 2023, the Streets, Infrastructure & Neighborhoods Subcommittee helped identify bond funding for projects that support Allen's growing population and the city's aging infrastructure.

Workshops were held at the Allen ISD STEAM Center at 7 p.m. on the following dates:
- Monday, May 22 - Bond Public Kickoff Meeting
