How this project changed between plans
The City publishes a new five-year capital plan each year. Here is how this project's five-year total moved from the FY 2025-30 Adopted plan to the FY 2026-31 Proposed plan.
“Five-year total” is every expense line for this project in each plan (carryover estimate plus new money). The two plans cover different five-year windows, so part of a change can be the window shifting by a year.
