Thank you!

Dear Community Member,

Thank you for taking the time to attend and participate in the City of Escondido’s recent Capital Improvement Program (CIP) community meetings hosted by our Mayor and Councilmembers. We appreciate your engagement, thoughtful questions, and valuable feedback.

The CIP is the City’s long-term plan for maintaining and improving essential infrastructure such as streets, parks, public facilities, stormwater systems, and other community assets. Your input helps ensure these investments reflect community priorities and support Escondido’s long-term needs.

During the meetings, City staff shared an overview of the CIP, including funding sources, background information, and project timelines, and offered residents an opportunity to provide input on future projects.

All feedback received during meetings and through written comments on www.YourEscondido.com will be reviewed and considered as City staff continue to work on the CIP and General Operating Budget recommendations.

Thank you again for being part of the conversation and helping shape the future of Escondido. We value your involvement and encourage you to stay engaged as these projects move forward.

Meeting Discussions

Over four community meetings, several key themes have consistently emerged.

Attendees have repeatedly raised concerns about traffic safety, the growing popularity and demand for pickleball facilities, the need for continued efforts to address homelessness, and questions about Measure I funding.
- While not all of these topics can be addressed by the five-year CIP program and budget, these topics are strong indicators of the community’s priorities and remain top of mind for both City staff and the City Council.

What's Next

City staff will compile and evaluate community feedback and share it with the City’s leadership team.
Updates will be shared with the community via social media and our website as they become available.
The District 3 meeting will be rescheduled in January.
