Background and Analysis:
This year, Council committed approximately $30 million in funding to maintain and improve the City’s infrastructure and City-owned Parks and buildings. Work has begun on many of the 30 projects expected to be in progress this year. Staff will present the highlights of this year’s construction season.
City staff will use a variety of tools to communicate with the public on the schedule and impact of the construction projects. These include an interactive Construction Map on the City’s website and an OlyProjects Twitter account, in addition to print materials and face-to-face meetings.
