The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) serves as Hawaiian Garden’s long-range plan for individual community and infrastructure projects to enhance the quality of life for the residents. CIP Projects are unique construction projects that provide improvements or additions such as land, buildings, and infrastructure.
The CIP helps enhance the overall quality of life in the City by improving the physical structures, systems, and facilities that provide services to the community. CIP projects are generally large and expensive, and the assets they install, replace, or rehabilitate will likely be required for decades of public use.
Funding sources for CIP projects are originated from multiple sources and administered through the City’s Engineering Division. Some of the funding sources include Proposition A and C programs that support transit related developments such as bus shelters, sidewalks, and streets. Measure R Funds are used for curb and gutter repairs and ADA compliance. Gasoline Tax are funds originated from gasoline taxes which help fund the maintenance of the City’s streets.
The CIP is a multiple year forecast of the City’s capital needs. A capital need includes various project types such as:
- Bikeways
- Bridges
- Storm drainage and flood control facilities
- Libraries
- Park and recreation centers
- Public Safety, Parks and Recreation facilities
- Street improvements, lights and traffic signals
- Sidewalk improvements
- Utilities undergrounding
- Water and sewer facilities and pipelines
