Title
Presentation and Discussion of 2018 Street Projects.

Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council discusses the proposed street improvements identified in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2018.
Summary Report:
Every year, as part of the budget process, the City adopts a five-year CIP and Capital Equipment Plan. This assists the City in identifying needs and funding for Capital projects. The adopted CIP map is attached (Attachment 1) which shows the planned street improvements from 2017-2021.
