Why are we doing this?

Our Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) serves as the blueprint for Urbandale’s future, laying out strategic investments in infrastructure, parks, roads, and more. But it’s not just about paving roads or planting trees—it’s about making smart, thoughtful decisions that will last for generations. While the CIP is a detailed and essential document, it can be complex to navigate. That’s why we’ve created the Planned Project Interactive Map—a powerful tool to help you stay informed and connected to Urbandale's growth and development.

Here’s why this matters:

  • Efficient Use of Resources
    Every dollar spent is carefully planned to maximize the benefit for the entire city. We’re focused on sustainable projects that will continue to serve Urbandale for years to come.
  • Improving Quality of Life
    From better parks to safer streets, these investments are all aimed at improving your everyday experience as a resident.
  • Transparency and Engagement
    We want you to see how your tax dollars are being spent, and this map gives you direct access to that information. It’s important for us that you feel connected to the decisions that affect your community.
