City Projects in Neighborhoods

Neighborhood Enhancement

The Neighborhood Enhancement Program allows residents to select small capital projects for city-funded construction in their neighborhoods. Since 1988, 400 NEP projects have been completed, including playgrounds, park improvements, trail connections, sidewalk links and additional street lights.

Beginning in 2011, Neighborhood Enhancement is focused on the completion of projects already approved by various neighborhoods in the recent three-year cycle. In keeping with City Council direction, a new NEP cycle may be initiated in 2014.

In the meantime, requests for neighborhood improvements may be submitted to the Neighborhood Outreach team. Some requests may be addressed through other funding sources, such as departmental operations or Neighborhood Partnerships matching grants.

How the Neighborhood Enhancement Program works:

*Please note that the program procedures may change with a new cycle in 2014. The following guidelines describe the current program:

A portion of the city’s Capital Investment Program (CIP) budget is set aside for NEP projects.
Funds are allocated among 13 NEP Areas, based on number of households in each area.
Every three years, each NEP area has an opportunity to propose projects for funding.
Residents submit project requests which are reviewed by city staff for compliance with NEP screening criteria.
Project descriptions and cost estimates for all qualifying projects are presented to residents, who then vote for their top priorities.
Projects are funded based on the community vote and funds available for the area.
The city implements the funded projects. NEP Project Implementation
