No in-progress projects in this category.

A project appears here as soon as the City is actively spending on it — a grant award, design work, environmental review or bidding — not only once a construction contractor is chosen. The stage shows how far along it is: Planning Design Bid / award Construction — and hold when a project has hit a snag. Budgeted is what the adopted budget sets aside; Approved is what the Council has actually authorized to spend (contract awards and appropriations) — “—” means no spending contract has been approved yet.
