The following tables describe and prioritize the projects identified through the needs assessment project. A description of the project labels and key codes is described below. The prioritized projects are incorporated into the
overall capital plan for the department, which is organized by fiscal year budget. The highest priority projects are those that are currentlyidentified in the FYzz budget or that require action to resolve safety issues or to address
poor conditions or immediate need. Reference the key below for a breakout of priorities by fiscal year. The approach assumes that some common identified recurring needs will be covered by a revolving fund to be assigned at
the department's discretion. These funds may also be used toward grant matches in some cases. The identified funding is suggested, and there maybe coordination requirements with other departments or granting authorities,
etcetera, to align the funding sources and project years. It is assumed that some of the improvements can be performed in house by maintenance crews or can be coordinated as part of street maintenance and/or
improvements under the Department of Public Works.
