Managed by the Director of Public Services, Capital Improvement Projects are major street reconstruction projects, ranging from milling and repaving to full reconstruction of the roadbed, buildings and facility improvements, sidewalks, multi-use trails, and major sewer and water pipes upgrades and replacements.

Capital Projects may also include, traffic calming, school safety, public plazas, parks and greenways. Public Services works to create projects that increase safety, quality of life, improve transit, enhance public space, and invigorate the economy. Projects are initiated based on community input, demonstrated need, and outside funding opportunities. Capital projects are longer-term than projects constructed in-house because of the need for detailed surveys and design and increased inter-agency coordination and approvals.
