20 Year Streets Funding Plan

We share the process and standards for the 20 Year Streets Funding Plan.

Overview

The City has a process for selecting street reconstruction projects to include in the annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This process and criteria is detailed in the 20 Year Streets Funding Plan. The Plan guides how City funds are spent on street reconstruction projects. The City prioritizes projects based on many factors such as:

The physical condition of streets
Community demographics
Transportation needs of all users of the street

The prioritization process also includes a racial and economic equity approach.

2025 update

On April 10th, 2025, City Council adopted the 2025 Update to the 20 Year Streets Funding Plan (20YSFP).

The plan incorporates updated data and new policy guidance from several policy documents. This ensures the City’s Capital Improvement Program reflects current policy included in the:

Transportation Action Plan
Racial Equity Framework for Transportation
Vision Zero Action Plan

The City will continue to review the criteria used to select projects.

Capital Improvement Program

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes City projects planned for construction in the next six years. The CIP is updated every year.

History of the 20YSFP

The 20YSFP is guided by the 2016 Neighborhood Park and Street Infrastructure Plans ordinance. The ordinance addresses needed funding for 20 years to:

Repave City streets
Maintain neighborhood parks

The ordinance detailed the use of a criteria-based system with a focus on racial and economic equity to select projects for the CIP each year. It also increased the budget for capital street paving from 2017-2037. Street paving projects are part of the City’s CIP.

Public Works completed the first 20YSFP in 2016. This Plan was updated in 2018 to include new data and input gathered from public outreach.
