City of Colorado Springs releases 2025 Public Works annual report highlighting infrastructure progress and service delivery

The City of Colorado Springs Public Works Department has released its 2025 Annual Report, detailing a year of significant infrastructure investment, maintenance operations and service delivery that supported the city's growing community and quality of life.

The report highlights progress across roadway improvements, stormwater management, transit services and neighborhood support programs.

In 2025, Public Works crews and contractors repaved more than 180 miles of roadway and replaced over 287,000 feet of curb and gutter as part of the City's voter-approved 2C Road Improvement Program, which marked its tenth year of investment in road improvements.

"Public Works plays a critical role in maintaining and improving the infrastructure our residents rely on every day," said Public Works Director Richard Mulledy. "From roadway repairs to transit services, our team remains committed to delivering safe, reliable and efficient services that support the quality of life in Colorado Springs."

The department's operations and maintenance division addressed daily service needs across the city, including repairing more than 78,000 potholes, responding to 17 snow events, and maintaining stormwater infrastructure. Crews also supported emergency response efforts, including rapid repairs to a roadway washout in North Cheyenne Cañon that restored access for residents and visitors.

Traffic Engineering teams maintained and improved mobility and safety across the transportation network, operating 720 traffic signals, installing new signals and expanding bike lane infrastructure throughout the city.

Mountain Metropolitan Transit provided more than 3.1 million passenger trips in 2025, while advancing fleet upgrades that include new hybrid buses and implementing coordinated "snow routes" to maintain service during winter weather events.

Stormwater Enterprise projects also progressed, including work on the Park Vista Drainage Improvements project, which addresses long-standing flooding and safety concerns in the community.

Major capital and transportation projects advanced throughout the year, including improvements to Marksheffel Road and Dublin Boulevard, continued progress on the Circle Drive Bridges replacement, and early completion phases of the Tejon Street Revitalization Project.

The 2025 Annual Report reflects the department's mission to plan, build, operate and maintain public infrastructure while supporting transparency, accountability and efficient use of public resources.
