City of Sammamish

The City working on its 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Program, commonly referred to as the CIP, which is a six-year lookahead for major projects that will improve Sammamish’s streets, parks, facilities, stormwater systems, and technology.

The CIP identifies funding and timing for priority projects that align with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and other strategic plans. Potential projects on the CIP are identified through community requests, staff identification, long-range plans, and asset (ex. crosswalks, parks, stormwater pipes) management monitoring. The CIP includes all components of capital project delivery– planning, design, permitting, and construction. Once a project on the CIP is completed, the new asset (sidewalk, road, storm drain, etc.) is the City’s to maintain.

The 2026-2031 CIP will be presented to City Council and the community in early fall, with adoption of the CIP by City Council planned for November 2025. Community involvement is a vital part of developing the CIP. Residents and businesses often give input at City Council and commission meetings when long-range plans, such as the Transportation and Stormwater Master Plans are being updated. Additionally, neighbors near a proposed project participate in open house events to give input during the planning, design, and sometimes, construction phases.
