VOTING COMPLETE, FOUR PROJECTS FUNDED

Woodridge NEP ballots prioritizing the eligible projects competing for NEP funds have been received.  The voting is now complete, and the results have been determined.  Four projects will be undertaken and are shown below.  The total estimated cost for these projects is $164,000. This total is $4,000 over the allocation for the area. However for the reasons noted below, we determined that it makes sense to do this. Not doing this would leave $21,000 of funds already appropriated unspent.

The top three projects can clearly be funded. The 4th through 7th projects on the priority list cannot be included because their estimated costs are too high. However, including the 8th priority project as a funded project results in relatively minor additional costs. Also, this 8th priority project relates to the Woodridge Open Space overlook. There were two alternative projects at that location; WR-5 and WR-6. Both projects combined received almost as many points as the top priority project indicating a strong desire to have something done at that location. WR-5 is too expensive, but WR-6 is less costly and can be funded.

Now is the time to wrap up this phase of Neighborhood Enhancement and move into the next phase -- implementation of the projects you and your neighbors have selected.  Once again, we invite you to play an active role: contact the project manager to provide input; track the status of these and other projects on the City's web site; and see the results of the finished projects.

If you have any questions about the Neighborhood Enhancement Program, including questions about the results of the voting, please contact Ying Carlson, Coordinator of the Neighborhood Enhancement Program (contact information at right). Questions specific to the projects are best directed to the project manager for the project.  E-mail links to the project managers are included with the project descriptions.
