What the phases mean

  1. 01

    Planning

    Scope, need and funding are being defined. This is the stage where public comment changes the most.

  2. 02

    Design

    Engineers draw it. Property and easement conversations happen here.

  3. 03

    Bidding

    The work is advertised to contractors. Prices come in and Council awards a contract in public session.

  4. 04

    Construction

    Crews are on site. Expect noise, dust and detours — and a project page that tells you how long.

  5. 05

    Substantially complete

    The public can use it. Punch-list items and landscaping may continue.

Please note: These projects, budgets, locations and street names are invented for the design concept. No street or park named here is a real Springfield location, and nothing shown is real City construction.
