Capital Improvement Projects
Arlington Neighborhoods Program capital improvement projects include:
- Street improvement
- Streetlights
- Parks
- Sidewalks
There are two ways to initiate these projects:
- Work with the Arlington Neighborhoods Advisory Committee (ArNAC) to submit a priority project that has been identified in your Arlington Neighborhoods Plan to the County Board for funding approval; or
- Submit a resident, ArNAC, or Civic Association request. Arlington Neighborhoods Program staff determine if a project request requires an amendment to the existing Arlington Neighborhoods Plan and will work with the civic association to decide if the requested project should become a priority.
After the Board approves projects for funding, they go through a planning and design process. For each type of project, the process differs slightly. For example, new streetlights require a petition is signed by 60 percent of affected residents and park projects trigger a field study.
View the Arlington Neighborhoods Program (ANP) Guidebook (Published 2023, Version 2) to learn about the process.
