Everyone in every community deserves to have access to the same level of high-quality, effective services and infrastructure. Safe, affordable transportation and beautiful parks and greenspaces are essential parts of healthy communities.
The Development and Infrastructure Department oversees Capital Investment Projects (CIP), including bikeways, streets, sidewalks, parks, and trails, in neighborhoods throughout the precinct. It is the mission of the department to provide safe, efficient, and equitable community infrastructure and services.
The CIP Process
Type of Projects: The Office of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis focuses on providing infrastructure projects that are community-driven and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods. Our projects include new construction and reconstruction of streets, intersections, bridges, sidewalks, bikeways, trails, and park facilities.
How Projects are Developed: Throughout project development and construction, we work with stakeholders through community engagement to better understand the issues impacting communities and take a collaborative approach to find solutions. We also work with partner organizations and agencies who share common goals in developing and implementing projects.
Phases: There are four major phases to project completion: study, design, bid, and construction.
