Capital Improvement Program Update
Summary
The city can fund $3.77 million of capital work next year — Refugio Lake, Beechnut Park, Foxborough streets, sewer rehab, and Hercules Hub design — but more than half of the $76.6 million ten-year plan is unfunded. Streets are under the most pressure, and the John Muir Parkway project bids came in nearly double budget.

Impact analysis
About $6 million total spending next year including carryover and Hub grants; the ten-year plan has a $41.9 million funding gap.
Residents whose streets, parks, and sewer lines get repaired with the funded projects.
Deferred projects — especially parks and John Muir Parkway safety work — wait longer as the unfunded backlog grows.
