City Council Reviews 5 Year Capital Improvements Program

At a work session held on June 8, 2009, the Oviedo City Council reviewed and discussed the proposed 5 Year CIP for the period of FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14.  The CIP is the primary tool for implementing City Council initiatives - many of which are reflected in various “Master Plans” such as Transportation, Stormwater, Water/Wastewater and Reclaimed Water and Parks and Recreation that now serve as a blueprint for future capital investment.  To view the CIP document, copy and paste the following link to your web browser: http://www.cityofoviedo.net/index.php?q=node/495. 

Some of the higher-profile projects included in the 5 Year CIP - some of which are subject to future funding availability are as follows: 

  • SR426 realignment, intersection improvements at SR 434 and related right-of-way acquisition.

 

  • The City’s share of funding to construct infrastructure improvements for the New Town Center - including internal roadways, landscaping and hardscaping amenities, a Community Park and Amphitheatre.

 

  • Resurfacing 15.5 miles of City-maintained roads over the next five years.

 

  • Construction of several road improvements as recommended in the Transportation Master Plan.

 

  • The initial phase of improvements included in the 10 year Park and Recreation Master Plan, subject to approval of a future bond issue in 2010 or 2011.

 

  • Continued construction of the City’s reuse distribution system.

 

  • Completion of the new Public Works complex on Evans Street and planning for a new Police Headquarters facility on Lockwood Boulevard.

 The proposed CIP also serves as the companion to the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan, which outlines capital improvements that are required to maintain adopted levels of service and keep pace with community growth.  The listing below depicts the breakdown of the proposed $79.2 million 5 Year CIP by major project category:
