Five Year Capital Improvements Progarm

Non-Major Project Funding

Guidelines have been established for several key areas which the Administration has utilized in projecting the non-major capital needs. These are summarized as follows:

Park Development

  • The neighborhood park development priority is based upon the timing of subdivision build-out and input from residents.

  • Evaluate the adequacy of active/athletic facilities in the community and the neighborhood parks.

  • Identify opportunities to develop joint neighborhood and community parks with other governmental jurisdictions (i.e. Dublin City Schools and Washington Township).

  • Program adequate funding for maintenance of existing assets.

Bikeway System Improvements

  • Bikeways are included as part of the City’s major public roadway projects and include multi-use paths, bike lanes and sharrows.

  • Identify connections and/or additions to the bikeway system which provide an alternate transportation system linking neighborhoods, community facilities and commercial destinations.

  • Coordinate local system design with other governmental jurisdictions such as the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and other appropriate regional efforts.

  • Identify the connections and/or additions that can be constructed by developers as part of
    private development.

Annual Street Maintenance Program

  • Investment for street resurfacing is based on anticipated life of the asset.

  • A comprehensive pavement management system has been established to ensure acceptable levels of service are maintained in a cost-effective manner.

  • The City evaluates the pavement maintenance needs annually and programs improvements based on roadway conditions.

Asset maintenance

  • Maintain the City’s existing assets to ensure long-term viability.

  • Maintain a comprehensive listing of the City’s assets and identify the anticipated need for maintenance, repair or replacement.

  • Evaluate and update the City’s asset maintenance needs annually.

As identified, specific budget requests will be included in the annual CIP budget and a final review and evaluation made by City Council as part of the Operating Budget review process.
