Given the uncertainty of public support for large-scale capital improvement projects in Surprise, the wish list presented during Tuesday’s City Council Work Session may seem — at least in its entirety — more like a dream list.
The city does not have money set aside for the nearly $192 million in projects presented. Not even close.
Rather, this is a list of public safety, transportation, parks and recreation, government and water projects the city is likely to need in the next five to 10 years. City departments ranked the projects by priority and the council will need to do the same.
