2027-2031 Street and Infrastructure Funding

Lake Geneva

Summary

The city can't afford the full $5 million a year its road report says it needs, so staff proposed doubling historical road spending to $2 million a year while keeping up maintenance like seal coating. The committee split 2-2 on whether to endorse it, leaving the hard call to the council.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

About $16.65 million in capital spending over five years, with roughly $10-12 million in total city borrowing anticipated.

✅Who benefits

Everyone who drives, walks, or bikes on city streets — plus neighborhoods getting drainage and sidewalk fixes like the Manor, Bloomfield Road, and Center Street.

⚠️Who could be affected

Roads that don't make the cut will keep slipping down the PASER ratings as the city falls behind the recommended 20-to-30-year repaving cycle.
