of tampa uh in the spirit of the workshop uh i had some conversations with council earlier today um and made some additions to the powerpoint uh to highlight some other topics uh that were raised as questions um so there's two pages in there that i'll highlight on the wolf as i work through that presentation um if i could get the presentation put on the screen i'll go ahead and jump into the discussion um thanks for giving me some time tonight i know my opening stormwater act ran a little long last time um i hope to not take four hours of your evening um next slide you have a clicker there i'm sorry got it all right so i've organized my presentation to talk about three main focus areas the first uh is the paving program uh the second is the sidewalk program and the third is the capital improvement program uh to set a frame of reference for paving i looked back over the last three fiscal years and took a look at what we've done from a paving perspective um and on average annually we do about 13 paving projects a year that gets us to almost 60 lane miles of repaving um and typically the cost has been around 14 million dollars um we understand that we're moving into a period of some uncertainty in budgets uh so when we developed our work program within mobility we set a tentative two-year paving plan so you can see the map it's a little difficult to see on the the monitor but that lays out all of the paving projects that we have planned in the city over the next two years we base that on pavement condition inventory data that we have right now we're working to update that inventory um which which may update this plan but right now we've got a two-year plan with 28 paving projects that covers about 141 lane miles and comes in at about 29 million dollars in total cost so that that's the city paving program we also have some additional funding that's coming in from outside sources the all transportation settlement provided the city with 21 million dollars we're working on seven resurfacing projects under that and those total about 8.2 miles so that that adds to that total that you see on the left so over the next two years we're probably looking at closer to about 150 miles of repaving this is a breakdown of the budget uh from in in fy 27 we have an allocation of five million dollars for repaving um and we are carrying over about 5.7 million dollars in funding uh that's some of that is the the carryover that was given to us last fy that will really help us in fy 27 to get closer to meeting the need that we have from a funding perspective for for paving uh we think we can get pretty close to that um 50 miles or 55 miles of paving uh that we're shooting for uh with the allocation in the budget i also took a look at sidewalks so over the past three fiscal years we've built several segments of sidewalk um in the next fy we're looking at continuing that work uh in 2024 there was a two million dollar allocation of sidewalk funds uh to a city-wide sidewalk improvement project uh that's three miles of sidewalks that cover the corridors that are listed below that bullet uh we're working we've been through the the ccna process we've selected a consultant and we're working through the negotiation of scope for design versus scope for construction and really trying to maximize what we get from a construction perspective on that project i expect that project will advance in 27 into construction um and then what we're trying to do is is prime the project pipeline so as you move things into construction we need to move other things into design to kind of to keep that flow of work steady uh we're moving a sidewalk project on rocky point drive uh kind of near the rusty pelican redevelopment site so that's going to connect from the rusty pelican all the way up to the multimodal trail on state road 60. we're looking at connecting a sidewalk on north o'brien down to laurel um that moves near some of the new development on o'brien and one of the main access routes to the service workers accessing the airport um and then we've worked with councilwoman young and councilwoman her tech um and and met with the river grove neighborhood they have some needs within that neighborhood and we're working to move that sidewalk project into design for river grove so that it can then be moved into construction likely in the following fy you can see here the bottom the funding balance august 2026 so we're looking at next year of having about four million dollars in sidewalk funds two million of that will be those city-wide improvements and then we're going to draw on the other two million to help with the design and then fund the construction of those three projects i had identified from a major capital improvements perspective we're looking at advancing the sulfur springs k-8 safe roots to schools project we had a discussion with council a couple months ago about that and received additional funding to support that project some of those funds are retained in fy 27 with the bulk of them pushed to 29 so that's a that's a point where we're trying to initiate the work and then move it into construction likely we wouldn't be able to do design and construction in the same year so i think that works from a project timeline we're working on the west river build that's a major capital project that will be completed in fy 27 uh unite ashley drive that's where we're reconnecting the the street grid at the north end of downtown and reconfiguring some of the interstate ramps that's to support the army navy site redevelopment and the affordable housing that's going in at the north end of downtown uh so that project is a is a priority you
