Public-safety radio, bridges, parks and downtown street work highlighted in FY27 CIP preview
Summary
Staff highlighted the FY27 CIP's major projects including a multi-year public-safety radio modernization (year‑1: $2.1M; total ~$11.2M), a $4.1M bridge package, playground replacements and a $7.5M Downtown Main Street effort that combines streets, drainage, water and wayfinding improvements.
Staff walked council through several headline projects that staff expects to advance through the FY27 CIP process.
Budget staff described the public-safety radio modernization as a seven-year, phased investment with year‑one costs of $2,100,000 and a total projected program cost of about $11.2 million. Staff listed a $4,100,000 bridge package (four projects), parks investments including Turner Park road rehab ($1,500,000), Glen Creek playground equipment ($450,000) and Friendship Park playground and parking improvements ($470,000). Downtown Main Street was presented as a $7.5 million investment to fund street, storm drainage, water and wayfinding improvements to support local businesses.
Staff framed these items as planning-level estimates that will return with project-level details for council action. "The 1st year is $2,100,000. The total project cost is 11.2," staff said when introducing the public-safety radio project. Staff also described routine annual water/wastewater main replacement programs (listed at approximately $2,000,000 each) and a Lake Ridge lift-station rehab estimated at $4,000,000.
