The five‐year plan, which can be found in the CIP section of the adopted budget, anticipates
investing approximately $49.3 million into street projects, $32.8 million into parks projects, $12.6
million into water projects, $9.7 million into wastewater projects, and $550,000 into drainage
projects for a total $109.4 million investment into the city's infrastructure. Approximately one‐
third of those improvements will be cash funded.

Strategy 4.1: Expand the Sidewalk and Trail Network

Sidewalk investments have been a consistent priority in recent years, with annual expenditures
increasing steadily from just $30,000 nine years ago. For FY 2021‐22, the city included one‐time
funding of $3.5 million for sidewalk repair aimed at eliminating the city's backlog of sidewalk
maintenance requests. For FY 2023‐24, $302,500 is allocated for sidewalk repairs.

In future years, the city will increase contributions by 10% annually to handle emergent repair
requests, proposing $5.9 million in funding from FY 2019‐20 through FY 2027‐28 for sidewalk
maintenance alone. In addition to maintenance, the FY 2023‐24 CIP budget earmarks $2.2 million
from FY 2024‐25 through FY 2025‐26 for sidewalk enhancements. Combined with previous
investments, that results in proposed funding of $8.2 million in sidewalk construction from FY
2019‐20 through FY 2027‐28.

Strategy 4.2: Continue Investment in Street Maintenance

FY 2023‐24 street projects include $2.3 million for future street reconstruction projects, $302,500
for sidewalk maintenance and $250,000 for the Bancroft Road and Springbranch Drive
reconstructions. With this year's contribution, the combined proposed funding for annual street
maintenance is $13.8 million from FY 2021‐22 through FY 2027‐28. Road reconstruction is also
included in the five‐year CIP, including $10.6 million for Old Town Keller East/Bates Street, $1
million for Mt. Gilead Road and $100,000 for median design on Hwy. 377 near the city's northern
border. Between annual street maintenance and reconstruction projects, the city proposes a
$41.3 million investment in street improvements over the next five years.

In addition, the streets division will allocate $700,000 for pavement markings, $200,000 for signal
modifications and $100,000 for right‐turn dedications on North Tarrant Parkway as part of this
year's budget.

Strategy 4.3 Develop and Maintain Comprehensive Infrastructure Plans Emphasizing
Connectivity

In December 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation issued a call for projects for its
Transportation Alternatives Set‐Aside Program. Staff applied with the council's support and
recognition of Keller's need for a comprehensive, citywide pedestrian plan. The grant will provide
$475,000 in funds with a city match of $125,000 if awarded.

Looking toward 2023‐24, city staff will work to implement street improvements outlined in
Keller's Major Thoroughfare Plan with guidance from public input and prioritization by City
