Want to suggest a project for next year’s capital improvement budget in the City of Kansas City, Mo.?

The Public Improvements Advisory Committee, also called PIAC, invites residents to voice their ideas at four citywide hearings in August. PIAC funds typically are used for flood control, storm drainage, street resurfacing, bridge repairs, traffic signals, tree trimming and planting, and improvements to parks and trails.

The upcoming citywide hearings follow a series of neighborhood-level meetings held earlier in the summer. PIAC will use public input from all the meetings to make recommendations to the City Council regarding both the citywide and neighborhood portions of the Fiscal Year 2014-15 capital budget. Project funding comes from the one-cent sales tax for public improvements.

The citywide hearings are:

Friday, Aug. 16, 9 a.m. to noon
City Hall, 10th floor Committee Room
414 E. 12th St.

Tuesday, Aug. 20, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
The Gem Theater
1615 E. 18th St.

Wednesday, Aug. 21, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Hillcrest Community Center
10401 Hillcrest Road

Thursday, Aug. 22, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
