Rough Proportionality Methodology Identify greatest needs then recommend projects, as opposed to identify funding by geographic areas then recommend projects

Areas of City have different infrastructure needs

Project selection provides roughly equal investment across City

Needs addressed through variety of programs: Bond Program, Five –Year Infrastructure Management Program and Linear Creekway Program
