Town outlines 2025 capital-improvement program, highlights water and transportation projects
Summary
Town staff detailed the 2025 CIP including road and utility relocations tied to TxDOT projects, pump‑station and storage work, water‑meter replacement planning, rails‑to‑trails design and park-concept planning for Jobson Park and Sandler Farms North.
Town staff reviewed Sunnyvale’s 2025 capital-improvement program on Jan. 27, describing design and construction timelines for transportation, water, sewer and parks projects that staff expects to carry through 2025 and into 2026.
Major items in the CIP briefing included: - Collins Road landscaping and a separate state-highway landscape project on South Collins (SH‑352), both in design or ready to bid; North Collins work expects completion in late summer/early fall. - Clay Road pavement rehabilitation including concrete panel replacement and median landscaping; bid expected in February, construction in spring, with an estimated Q1 2026 completion. - Beltline Road traffic-signal coordination and intersection improvements to support a new Tom Thumb grocery development at Towne East and Beltline, including a northbound right-turn lane to eastbound Towne East and fiber for coordinated signals. - East Trip Road water-line work and conduit placement for future fiber, with bid and construction expected this spring and completion in fall 2025. - Utility relocations tied to TxDOT’s US‑80 widening project, with roughly $5 million of water‑utility relocations to be bid in the Feb–Mar timeframe. - Riverstone pump station and storage planning to add a roughly 3,000,000‑gallon storage tank and additional pumping capacity; staff expects to procure design services soon with construction anticipated to begin in spring 2026. - A proposed water‑meter/radio-system project (estimated approximately $22 million) to replace aging commercial and residential meters and upgrade metering systems. - A sewer master plan and impact‑fee updates for water and sanitary sewer timed to follow the water master plan and mobility-plan results; impact fees must be updated every five years. - Rails‑to‑trails Phase 1 design adjacent to the Sunnyvale ISD campus (federally funded elements) with environmental reviews underway; staff hopes to start construction later this year and open the section by the end of 2026. - Barnes Bridge Road bridge replacement (Duck Creek) work was recently bid by TxDOT; the contractor plans to start Feb. 10 and complete in September; the town plans parallel waterline, pavement, drainage and safety improvements.
Staff emphasized coordination with state and regional projects (TxDOT and NTTA) and noted that some park construction timing will depend on the scope the council approves after upcoming public briefings. A councilor urged staff to accelerate park improvements in response to public comments about youth-sports field shortages.
No final construction approvals were taken at the meeting; the presentation served to update council on schedules, design procurements and upcoming bid milestones.
