The City of Highland Park has launched a new interactive map on the City’s website that will allow users to track updates on 2013 City infrastructure improvement projects. Projects this year include construction on the Water Plant Upgrade, street resurfacing, sidewalk extensions, water main line repairs on Rogers Williams Avenue and Sunnyside Avenue, sewer repairs on Elmwood Drive and more.
Linked on the city’s main page under “Construction Projects”, users can search their address, and by clicking on various color-coded blocks, receive updates on projects scheduled on their street or neighborhood.
Updates will include an estimated project start and end date, details of the project, construction progress, and a point of contact for any further questions.
“The web-based map is one centralized source for residents that shows all projects currently underway in Highland Park," said Public Works Director Ramesh Kanapareddy.
All the projects are a part of the larger scale Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is a five-year plan modified on an annual basis that the City develops with input from residents and the Council, availability of budgetary funds and more importantly, prioritizing the projects on the basis of critical factors.
The interactive map provides a tool for residents to receive the most up to date information on capital improvement projects occurring in their neighborhoods. A complete list of the city’s capital improvement projects for 2013 with further details can be viewed at www.cityhpil.com/constructionprojects.
