FY24 Capital Improvement Program

Salt Lake City Council Office

The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) application period for constituents is now closed.  Learn more .

What is CIP?

As part of the annual budget process, money is set aside for the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The money is available for citywide community projects that improve public property. This includes streets and sidewalks, parks, and buildings. Projects have a service life of five or more years and cost $50,000 or more. 

The Council reviews funding requests from the public and City departments during the annual budget process and approves the total amount of available funding. Over the summer, the Council further reviews and appropriates project-specific funding by Sept. 1.  

How much money is set aside for CIP?

Salt Lake City's adopted Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget allocated nearly $40 million for Capital Improvement Program projects.

Funded Projects

After the  Community Development and Capital Improvement Program (CDCIP) resident advisory board  examines and presents their recommended projects, the Mayor conducts an additional review and creates their recommended CIP Budget. The Council then reviews each recommended project and decides which requests to fund.

Citywide Funded Projects

01 / 14

Transit Capital for Frequent Transit Routes / Operational Investments

Funds will construct bus stops so SLC-supported new and revised transit routes (200, 209, 217, and others) are legal, accessible, safe, and convenient. They may also provide a match to federal grants received for transit hubs (especially 200 S East Downtown Hub and Westside North Temple Hub).

Public Way Concrete

This project will address displacements in public way concrete through saw-cutting, slab jacking, and removal and replacement of deteriorated or defective concrete sidewalks, accessibility ramps, curb, and gutter, retaining walls, etc.

Safer Crossings

A portion of this project will provide ongoing funding to a citywide program that installs warranted crossing beacons, traffic signals, or other traffic control devices to address safety issues.

Parks Bilingual Signage Installation

This project will replace existing signage and add new bilingual signage in English and Spanish in approximately 10 parks citywide.

Livable Streets Implementation

This citywide program aims to address the most common resident complaint to Transportation staff - speeding vehicles. It uses a data-driven & equitable prioritization process for the implementation of traffic calming improvements in the areas most in need.

Alleyway Improvements

This annual program funds reconstruction or rehabilitation of deteriorated City alleyways, including pavement and drainage improvements as necessary.

Complete Streets - Reconstruction

This annual program funds the reconstruction of deteriorated City streets, including curb and gutter, sidewalk, and drainage improvements as necessary. Where appropriate, it will include complete streets bicycle and pedestrian access improvements.

Complete Streets - Improvements

This funding is used to add improvements such as bulb-outs, crosswalk enhancements, improved bikeways, and signage to street reconstruction projects. This is separate from the Livable Streets program.

Complete Streets - Overlay

Multiple backlogged street segments were identified and recommended by Roadway Asset Services to receive funding for rehabilitation.

Mill and Overlay Maintenance Pilot Program

Many existing city roadways do not currently need a full depth reconstruction but are not in good enough condition for current maintenance surface treatments, namely chip and slurry seal. The Mill & Overlay pilot program would allow Streets to perform maintenance on these roads at a lower cost, compared to reconstructing. To carry out this pilot program, the Streets Division needs two additional pieces of equipment, an Asphalt Paver and a Cold Milling Machine.

Facilities Asset Renewal Plan FY24

Following a 10-year plan to eliminate the $45,600,000 in deferred asset renewal, the Facilities Division will utilize the funds requested to replace assets that are beyond their useful life, prioritizing assets based on their criticality.

1.5% for Art

Required by City ordinance and calculated as 1.5% of the General Fund available to spend revenues in the Mayor's Recommended Budget and is overseen by the Arts Council. The ordinance allows the Administration to use some of the funding for the maintenance of existing artworks, and the rest goes to new artworks.

CIP Cost Overrun Account

Required and governed by the CIP Resolution 29 of 2017. Provides additional funding for projects with expenses that come in slightly higher than estimated.

Maintenance of Vacant City-owned Property

Funding from this project will be used for security and utilities at vacant City-owned properties identified by the administration.

How to Submit a Project Request 

Do you have a project idea that needs funding? Constituent project applications open from September 1 through September 30 and will be available on  the Finance Department's website . After a request is submitted, the assigned division will review the proposed project, refine the scope and options with the constituent, and provide cost estimates (cost estimates are conducted by the Engineering Division). 

Constituent requests must:

  • Cost at least $50,000 
  • Have a useful life of 5 or more years 
  • Be a Salt Lake City-owned asset 
  • Include community outreach or alternative public engagement 

The Community Development and Capital Improvement Program resident advisory board (CDCIP) reviews all projects in public meetings and makes funding recommendations to the Mayor and City Council. If a request doesn’t align with current City priorities, they will not recommend funding for that project. The applicant can resubmit the request if a project is not funded or receives partial funding.

If you have questions about the process or want to know if your project qualifies for CIP funding, please contact Rachel Molinari at 385-242-5604 or email   cipinfo@slcgov.com.  

CDCIP Resident Advisory Board 

The Community Development & Capital Improvement Programs (CDCIP) resident advisory board coordinates with the Housing and Neighborhood Development Division. Board members review, prioritize, and make recommendations on CIP project funding requests. The board's funding recommendations are provided to the Mayor and the Council. The Mayor provides another set of funding recommendations to the Council for final funding decisions. 

Board members serve three-year terms and must be residents of the City. Interested in serving on the CDCIP Advisory Board?   Learn more   about the board and   submit your application  .  

Simplified Funding Log Glossary

CDCIP Board: Resident advisory board members individually and anonymously score projects based on several factors, such as quality and completeness of the application, public benefits, impacts, and more. The log shows the combined scores for each project. The scores guide how the Board views projects and informs their funding recommendations to the Mayor and City Council, but are not meant to determine which and how much funding a project receives strictly.

Social Vulnerability Index: developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to identify communities needing support by using 16 factors to rank census areas. The scores on this log apply to the communities the project will impact.

Sustainability: how likely the project will be able to be maintained, where 10 is the highest (best) score possible. The Sustainability Department determines the scores.

Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forestry, and Trails (PNUT) Board: scores indicate the Board's ranking of the project, with 1 being the highest (best) possible, and whether a resident ("Constituent") or a City department ("Internal") submitted the request.

Pavement Condition: the current conditions for public right-of-way pavement (streets, alleys, curb & gutter, and sidewalks).
