Capital Improvement Plan

For over 125 years, the City of White Bear Lake has built, maintained, replaced and expanded a vast array of public improvements designed to improve the quality of life for its citizens and visitors. From early roadways and boardwalks, water and sanitary sewer systems, parks and public buildings to today’s water treatment plants, marinas, street lighting, traffic signals, trails and storm water treatment systems, the City has a tremendous investment in its public infrastructure. Proper maintenance, replacement and growth of this infrastructure investment are essential and require a comprehensive plan for scheduling and financing the improvements; a Capital Improvement Plan.

This Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) sets forth the anticipated major maintenance, replacement and expansion of the City’s public infrastructure for a five-year period beginning in 2018. The plan recommends the improvements expected to be required and schedules them in a sequence intended to maximize the public investment and avoid duplication, waste, and conflict while meeting safe standards and public expectations.
