Collin County voters are also asked to decide a $750 million bond issue primarily earmarked for transportation projects and not expected to raise the property tax rate. The bonds are divided into three parts, $600 million for the construction of non-tolled, high-speed highways and freeways throughout the county, $10 million for park and open space purposes and $140 million for the construction of roads throughout the county, including participation in joint county-state and county-city projects.
