Improvement Plans
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a list of projects considered for a six-year period. Updated and adopted by the City Council and submitted to the state each year, as required by law, the TIP includes both projects for which money has been allocated and are likely to be constructed within the six-year period, as well as unfunded projects that may not be constructed within the plan period.
The SWM Utility provides services to the public that help protect the City’s surface water. SWM prioritizes a seven-year capital project list by identifying which projects best contribute towards the long-term goals of the Utility.
