These projects are partially funded through the seventh penny sales tax, which passed by referendum about four years ago. 

The first two Transportation Surtax Projects have been completed, and a third project, the redesign of NE 26th Street between Five Points and the City limits to the east, is underway. This is a surtax-funded project of a county road, but city staff has been advocating for as many improvements as possible. Elements of the project include widening the sidewalks, installing a crosswalk at NE 14 Avenue, and possible landscaping, medians, and lighting. Once final approval of the plan has been received, the City may commence the construction phase of the project.

Three roadway resurfacing projects, also funded through the surtax program, are under construction. The areas affected are primarily in the central part of the City.

Wayfinding 

Engineering plans to install branded wayfinding signs throughout the City have been completed.  The City Is In the final stages of project review with the County and hopes to enter an Interlocal Agreement in early 2024.
