The city of Pasadena, California, has adopted a $3.28 billion Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) outlining hundreds of infrastructure projects designed to maintain, modernize and upgrade streets, utilities, parks and public facilities.
Pasadena’s CIP includes 225 active projects, with $249 million in planned spending in 2027.
The plan also identifies 49 additional projects currently without funding that will be contingent on securing future state and federal grants.
Pasadena said the plan’s priorities include:
Boosting the Annual Citywide Street Resurfacing and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvement Program, which would receive increased funding to resurface about 11 centerline miles of roadway, including the Rose Bowl Loop. The project uses rubberized asphalt and other materials designed to improve durability, reduce noise and extend the life of city streets.
Expanding its Street Drainage Improvement Program to address broken or inadequate curbs and gutters across multiple neighborhoods. Officials say the work is needed to improve stormwater flow and reduce localized flooding issues on city streets.
Sending initial funding to the Municipal-Owned Solar Installation Program to begin development of city-owned renewable energy projects. Officials say the effort is intended to support long-term energy affordability and help transition to carbon-free electricity.
Allocating funds for the Artificial Turf Replacement Project at Robinson Park and Villa Parke fully complete turf replacement. The upgrades are intended to improve field safety, durability and recreational use.
Installing shade structures at parks across the city. While no funding has yet been allocated, the project is intended to improve comfort and usability at park athletic fields.
Increasing funding for the Annual Sewer System Improvements and Capacity Upgrades Program to accelerate inspection and rehabilitation work. Crews will clean sewer lines, conduct camera inspections and install liners to strengthen aging infrastructure and prevent failures.
Doubling funding for the East Side Storm Drain Project to complete a second phase of repairs to one of the city’s oldest drainage systems. The improvements will address structural issues and ensure reliable stormwater conveyance.
