Suggest a Capital Improvement Project

Overview

Below is a step-by-step guide for using the Our Kirkland to submit capital improvement  and neighborhood safety ideas. In Our Kirkland, you will zoom in on the location of your suggested project, categorize the project, describe it, and submit it. If you have multiple project ideas at various locations, please submit each idea separately. This will help ensure your ideas receive full consideration.  Thank you for your suggestions. Working together creates better projects and a stronger community.

Note: Please also use the Our Kirkland service request portal for requests for maintenance or repairs to capital assets (sidewalks, roadways, traffic signals). 

STEP 1 - VISIT OUR KIRKLAND

Open Our Kirkland. Then click the blue "Request for Service" button.

Additional information

For more information, visit the Neighborhood Safety Program website. That program awards up to $50,000 for project ideas that improve neighborhood safety. These suggestions can also become candidates for inclusion in the Citywide Capital Improvement Program.

The City prepares a six year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which plans for the improvements and maintenance of the City's water, sewer, and surface water utilities and transportation systems including streets, sidewalks, and intersections. The CIP document specifies project details, estimated costs, funding sources and timelines. Projects are prioritized based upon the CIP prioritization process and available funding. The City Council reviews, updates, and adopts the CIP every two years.

You can see all the projects currently in planning, design, or construction on the CIP Interactive Map (new map coming soon!).    

 

As a resident, business, or visitor of Kirkland, you may have a question about a particular current CIP project.  Check out www.kirklandwa.gov/capitalprojects for current construction projects.
