Austin voters resoundingly approved a slate of bond propositions Tuesday totaling $925 million that proponents celebrated as city residents' willingness to invest their tax dollars into the community.

The seven bond propositions included a record breaking $250 million proposal for affordable housing known as Proposition A, which faced very little opposition as a coalition of nonprofits and builders supported a campaign in its favor.

"We’re excited for this historic bond to have passed with such an overwhelming margin," said John Lawler, the head of the Keep Austin Affordable coalition organized in support of the bond. "We see it as a mandate for the city of Austin to invest heavily in affordable housing."

Proposition A was approved with 73 percent of votes in favor and 27 against. All the other propositions were approved with between 71 and 84 approval.

Those propositions are $128 million for libraries, museums and cultural centers; $149 million bond for parks and recreation; $184 million for flood mitigation, open space, and water quality protection; $16 million for health and human services; $38 million for public safety; and $160 million for transportation infrastructure.

"I'm thrilled," said Austin City Council Member Kathie Tovo, who won re-election to the council Tuesday. "Those are investments that are so needed."
