City manager lists parks, libraries and street projects as part of 2026 deliverables
Summary
City Manager Alvaro Nunez highlighted multiple 2026 infrastructure projects — park improvements, library openings, new dog parks and street upgrades — and cited nearly 1,700 new business licenses as evidence of economic momentum.
City Manager Alvaro Nunez used his panel time to enumerate infrastructure and community projects completed or moving in 2026, including second-phase improvements at San Diego Park, expanded hours at the Santa Ana Zoo, Centennial Park upgrades (lighting, fields, police training center), a second dog park, new splash pads and library openings. "We just opened it literally, what, a month ago. And, we're gonna open the main one later this upcoming year," Nunez said of library projects, listing multiple parks and progress points.
Nunez also tied infrastructure investment to economic development, reporting "1600, almost 1,700 new business license in 2026" as a metric of new business activity. He framed these investments as a strategy to attract private development and improve service levels that, in his view, make the city "welcoming" to investment. The city manager's comments focused on deliverables completed in fiscal 2026 and on the idea that visible public amenities support broader economic growth.
