On the city’s Capital Projects page, you can choose the Type of project that you want to search for: Street, Park, Sidewalk, and Transportation are the categories that most affect street safety though other catergories may as well. Once the Type is selected, you can then filter by status of project (Planning, Design, Status, Completed) which is helpful to focus on projects not yet completed.
