City launches interactive capital projects dashboard to enhance transparency

During the Cedar Park City Council meeting on July 10, 2025, a significant development was announced regarding the city's capital improvement projects. The introduction of the new CP Capital Projects dashboard aims to enhance transparency and engagement with the community concerning ongoing and recently completed projects.

The dashboard will serve as a comprehensive resource, featuring a complete list of projects along with a map that displays their locations throughout Cedar Park. Users will have the ability to search for projects based on various criteria, including their phase, status, and category—such as drainage, parks, and facilities. Each project entry will provide detailed information, including an overview, estimated completion date, budget details, and visual content like pictures and maps.

One of the key features of the dashboard is its interactive nature, which allows project managers to submit updates quarterly. This will include information on accomplishments, roadblocks, and next steps, ensuring that the public remains informed about the progress of each project. The new dashboard will replace the previous capital projects page on the city’s website, reflecting a commitment to improved communication and efficiency.

The introduction of the CP Capital Projects dashboard is expected to foster greater community involvement and trust in the city’s development efforts. By providing accessible and up-to-date information, Cedar Park aims to keep residents engaged and informed about the projects that impact their community. As the city moves forward with this initiative, it will be crucial to monitor its effectiveness in enhancing public awareness and participation in local governance.
