CIP SUMMARY-

UPLAND'S $76.5 MILLION INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN

When it comes to fixing infrastructure, planning is everything. That’s where the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) comes in. Upland has adopted a multi-year CIP valued at $76.5 million, funding 134 individual projects that touch nearly every corner of our community.

What makes the CIP so important is not just the dollar figure, but the way it prioritizes investment across multiple needs — streets, water, sewer, parks, and public facilities. The program ensures we aren’t just patching potholes or chasing emergencies, but actually building a sustainable plan for long-term growth and quality of life.

The breakdown tells the story. Streets and transportation projects account for the largest share at $31.4 million (41%), while water and sewer projects take up $25.6 million (34%). Parks and recreation improvements make up another $9.8 million (13%), and public facilities like safety buildings and civic spaces add $7.7 million (10%). Even information technology and fleet improvements are included, at $2 million (2%), ensuring that every piece of city operations is addressed.

Equally important is how the CIP is funded. With 21 different funding sources, the program draws on gas tax dollars, regional sales tax measures like Measure I, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, utility enterprise revenues, development impact fees, and state and federal grants. Together, these sources ensure that no single fund is overburdened — and most importantly, no new local taxes or utility rate increases are required to deliver the plan.

The CIP is more than just a budget. It’s a promise to residents: a commitment that the city is tackling problems head-on with a balanced, responsible, and forward-looking approach.
