Transportation Projects
Transportation projects often require substantial planning and engineering before becoming eligible for construction funding. A project is considered "shovel ready" when sufficient engineering, environmental review, stakeholder coordination, and design have been completed to allow construction to begin once funding is secured.
Planning Projects
Determine what street design changes can work through analysis and public engagement.
Design Projects
Create detailed engineering street designs ready for construction and coordination with other projects.
Construction Projects
Build designed projects to meet Vision Zero goals and maintain infrastructure assets.

Post-Construction Project Evaluation Policy
Transportation projects shall be evaluated for a period of three years following substantial completion. The evaluation period allows staff to determine whether project objectives have been achieved while accounting for normal changes in traffic patterns, seasonal conditions, and user behavior.
Evaluation Measures staff may review:
- Vehicle speeds
- Vehicle, Bicycle, and Pedestrian volumes
- Crash frequency and severity
- Public feedback
- Performance of the street, emergency response and solid waste operations
- Maintenance issues
Additional modifications may be recommended if data demonstrates that project goals have not been achieved or operational concerns exist.
