Hand-curated, not a live feed. The Office of the Director of Finance does publish the six-year Capital Improvement Program PDF, but there's no machine-readable feed; the dataset listed on OpenDataPhilly returns 404. Refreshed manually when the CIP is updated (annual budget cycle). Funding amounts are project lifetime totals, not annual spend. Locations are approximated for citywide programs.
